Plot the graphon of a Stochastic Block Model

Description

Draws the block connectivity of a simple or bipartite SBM on the unit square, each block being sized by its proportion. The axes are in number of nodes, so that the aspect ratio of the plot reflects the dimensions of the network.

Usage

plotMyGraphon(
  connectParam,
  blockProp,
  nbNodes = 1,
  dimLabels = c(row = "row", col = "col"),
  plotOptions = list()
)

Arguments

connectParam

: a matrix of connectivity parameters (one row per row block, one column per column block), or a list with a mean element as given by $connectParam of an SBM object

blockProp

: the block proportions. A vector for a simple SBM, a list of two vectors (row and col) for a bipartite SBM

nbNodes

: a vector of length 1 or 2 giving the number of nodes in row and col. Default is 1

dimLabels

: a vector of length 1 or 2 specifying the types of nodes in row and col (functional group)

plotOptions

: a list providing options. See details below.

Details

The graphon of an SBM is the piecewise constant function on [0,1]2[0,1]^2 whose value on the rectangle of row block kk and column block qq is the connectivity parameter αkq\alpha_{kq}; the sides of the rectangle are the proportions πk\pi_k and πq\pi_q of the blocks. Contrary to the matrix plots (type = 'data' or 'expected' in plot.SBM), it does not depend on the nodes nor on their memberships, only on the parameters of the model.

The blocks are drawn with the colors of the block background of the matrix plot (plotMyMatrix), so that both plots can be put side by side. For an SBM object (sampled or estimated), plot(x, type = 'graphon') gives the same plot.

  • "block.color": Chain of character. The color of the blocks. Default value is red

  • "blockAlpha.min", "blockAlpha.max": Numeric. Opacity of the blocks with the lowest and highest connectivity. Default values are 0.1 and 0.6

  • "limits": Numeric vector of length 2. Range of the connectivity values mapped to the colors. Default value is NULL: from 0 to the maximal value (or the range for negative values). Set it to compare several graphons on the same color scale, for instance c(0, 1) for Bernoulli models

War data set

Description

This dataset contains two networks where the nodes are countries and an edge in network "belligerent" means that the two countries have been at least once at war between years 1816 to 2007 while an edge in network "alliance" means that the two countries have had a formal alliance between years 1816 to 2012. The network belligerent have less nodes since countries which have not been at war are not considered.

Usage

war

Format

A list with 2 two igraph objects, alliance and belligerent. Each graph have three attributes: 'name' (the country name), 'power' (a score related to military power: the higher, the better) and 'trade' (a score related to the trade effort between pairs of countries).
