This repository contains different network integration methods that can be classified into:
Unweighted approaches These methods perform network integration without considering the "predictiveness" (i.e. the informativeness of each network) with respect to a prediction task. In particular, the following integrations are implemented:
- Unweighted Average (UA)
- Per-edge Unweighted Average (PUA)
- Maximum (MAX)
- Minimum (MIN)
- At least K (ATLEASTK)
Weighted approaches These methods require to provide as input a weight for each network, which are usually learned considering an appropriate learning algorithm:
- Weighted Average Per-class (WAP)
- Weighted Average (WA)
Citation - These methods were presented in the paper:
