Installation

install.packages("linkcomm")

Usage

# Explore the in-built Les Miserables network:
library(linkcomm)
lm <- getLinkCommunities(lesmiserables)

# Visualize the communities:
plot(lm, type = "graph", layout = "spencer.circle")

# Extract the nodes from the first community:
n1 <- getNodesIn(lm, clusterids = 1)

# Nodes shared by communities 10 and 11:
ns <- get.shared.nodes(lm, comms = 10:11)

# Node community centrality scores:
nc <- getCommunityCentrality(lm)

# Community connectedness scores:
cc <- getCommunityConnectedness(lm)
