Overview

About

Maintained by Alexander MercierFirst published 2022-11-151 releasesCRAN page ↗

Network sparsification with a variety of novel and known network sparsification techniques. All network sparsification techniques reduce the number of edges, not the number of nodes. Network sparsification is sometimes referred to as network dimensionality reduction. This package is based on the work of Spielman, D., Srivastava, N. (2009)arXiv:0803.0929. Koutis I., Levin, A., Peng, R. (2013)arXiv:1209.5821. Toivonen, H., Mahler, S., Zhou, F. (2010)doi:10.1007. Foti, N., Hughes, J., Rockmore, D. (2011)doi:10.1371.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("simplifyNet", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-simplifynet

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-simplifyNet

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-simplifyNet

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
