These functions measure certain topological features of networks:

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

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

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

network_stability(.data, object2)
