igraph和tnet之间的集中度度量上的差异

问题描述

我正在尝试获得有针对性的加权网络的集中度度量.我一直在R中使用igraph和tnet软件包.但是，我发现在使用这两个软件包获得的结果中存在一些差异，并且我对造成这些差异的原因有些困惑.见下文.

I'm trying to obtain centrality measures for a directed, weighted network. I've been using the igraph and tnet packages in R. However, I've discovered some differences in the results obtained using these two packages, and I'm a little confused about the cause of these differences. See below.

require(igraph)
require(tnet)
set.seed(1234)

m <- expand.grid(from = 1:4, to = 1:4)
m <- m[m$from != m$to, ]
m$weight <- sample(1:7, 12, replace = T)
igraph_g <- graph.data.frame(m)
tnet_g <- as.tnet(m)

closeness(igraph_g, mode = "in")

         2          3          4          1
0.05882353 0.12500000 0.07692308 0.09090909

closeness(igraph_g, mode = "out")

         2          3          4          1
0.12500000 0.06250000 0.06666667 0.10000000

closeness(igraph_g, mode = "total")

         2          3          4          1
0.12500000 0.14285714 0.07692308 0.16666667


closeness_w(tnet_g, directed = T, alpha = 1)

     node closeness n.closeness
[1,]    1 0.2721088  0.09070295
[2,]    2 0.2448980  0.08163265
[3,]    3 0.4130809  0.13769363
[4,]    4 0.4081633  0.13605442

有人知道发生了什么事吗?

推荐答案

发布此问题后，我偶然发现了博客由tnet软件包的维护者Tore Opsahl维护.我在博客的此帖子.这是托尔的回应:

After posting this question, I stumbled upon a blog maintained by Tore Opsahl, maintainer of of the tnet package. I asked this same question of Tore using the comments on this post of the blog. Here is Tore's response:

因此，如果运行Tore提供的以下代码(在将权重传递给igraph之前采用权重的倒数)，则可以获得tnet和igraph的等效贴近度得分.

Thus, if you run the following code provided by Tore (which takes the inverse of the weights before passing them to igraph), you obtain equivalent closeness scores for both tnet and igraph.

     node closeness n.closeness
[1,]    1 0.2193116  0.07310387

[4,]    4 0.3339518  0.11131725
