Marking ties based on structural properties

Source: R/mark_ties.R

These functions return logical vectors the length of the ties in a network identifying which hold certain properties or positions in the network.

  • tie_is_multiple() marks ties that are multiples.

  • tie_is_loop() marks ties that are loops.

  • tie_is_reciprocated() marks ties that are mutual/reciprocated.

  • tie_is_feedback() marks ties that are feedback arcs causing the network to not be acyclic.

  • tie_is_bridge() marks ties that cut or act as articulation points in a network.

They are most useful in highlighting parts of the network that are particularly well- or poorly-connected.
