These functions return values or vectors relating to how broad a network is.
net_by_diameter() measures the maximum path length in the network.
net_by_length() measures the average path length in the network.
net_by_diameter(.data)
net_by_length(.data)A network object of class stocnet, igraph, tbl_graph, network, or similar.
Internally any of these will be coerced to an efficient implementation.
For more information on possible coercions, see e.g. manynet::as_stocnet().
A network_measure numeric score.
The object also carries the measure it computed, the range its values
can fall within, and whether and how those values were normalized.
These are shown as a one-line header when the object is printed.
Where a measure offers a choice between several ways of counting the
same thing, it also carries the variant it used.
All can be retrieved with attr().
For signed networks, both measures consider only the positive ties.
They count path lengths, and a negative tie is hostility rather
than a channel along which cohesion travels.
Use manynet::to_unsigned() first to control this yourself.
Dropping the negative ties can disconnect the network,
in which case the measure covers the reachable pairs only.
