These functions return logical vectors the length of the nodes in a network identifying which hold certain properties or positions in the network.
node_is_cutpoint()
marks nodes that cut or act as articulation points in a network,
increasing the number of connected components when removed.
node_is_isolate()
marks nodes that are isolates,
with neither incoming nor outgoing ties.
node_is_core()
marks nodes that are members of the network's core.
node_is_fold()
marks nodes that are in a structural fold between two or more
triangles that are only connected by that node.
node_is_mentor()
marks a proportion of high indegree nodes as 'mentors' (see details)
node_is_isolate(.data)
node_is_cutpoint(.data)

node_is_mentor(.data, elites = 0.1)
An object of a manynet-consistent class:
matrix (adjacency or incidence) from {base}
R
edgelist, a data frame from {base}
R or tibble from {tibble}
igraph, from the {igraph}
package
network, from the {network}
package
tbl_graph, from the {tidygraph}
package
The proportion of nodes to be selected as mentors. By default this is set at 0.1. This means that the top 10% of nodes in terms of degree, or those equal to the highest rank degree in the network, whichever is the higher, will be used to select the mentors.
Note that if nodes are equidistant from two mentors, they will choose one at random. If a node is without a path to a mentor, for example because they are an isolate, a tie to themselves (a loop) will be created instead. Note that this is a different default behaviour than that described in Valente and Davis (1999).
