NetworkDistance: Distance Measures for Networks

Network is a prevalent form of data structure in many fields. As an object of analysis, many distance or metric measures have been proposed to define the concept of similarity between two networks. We provide a number of distance measures for networks. See Jurman et al (2011) <doi:10.3233/978-1-60750-692-8-227> for an overview on spectral class of inter-graph distance measures.

Readme and manuals

NetworkDistance

NetworkDistance package is a collection of inter-graph distance measures. Instead of graph distance that measures the degree of farness between nodes within a graph, we consider each network as an object and compute distance between those objects.

Installation

You can install the released version of NetworkDistance from CRAN with:

install.packages("NetworkDistance")

or the development version from github:

## install.packages("devtools")
## library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("kisungyou/NetworkDistance")

Currently Available Methods

We support following methds at this stage and the collection will be expanded continuously.
