Overview

About

Maintained by Alex T. KalinkaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗

Link communities reveal the nested and overlapping structure in networks, and uncover the key nodes that form connections to multiple communities. linkcomm provides a set of tools for generating, visualizing, and analysing link communities in networks of arbitrary size and type. The linkcomm package also includes tools for generating, visualizing, and analysing Overlapping Cluster Generator (OCG) communities. Kalinka and Tomancak (2011) doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btr311.

Install

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/linkcomm/linkcomm_1.0-14.tar.gz"

install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0-14) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("alextkalinka/linkcomm")

Development version from alextkalinka/linkcomm. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
