Measures of network change

These functions measure certain topological features of networks:

• net_change() measures the Hamming distance between two or more networks.

• net_stability() measures the Jaccard index of stability between two or more networks.

These net_*() functions return a numeric vector the length of the number of networks minus one. E.g., the periods between waves.

net_change(.data, object2)

net_stability(.data, object2)

Arguments

.data

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

object2

A network object.
