get.incidence {igraph} | R Documentation |
This function can return a sparse of dense incidence matrix of a bipartite network. The incidence matrix is an n times m matrix, n and m are the number of vertices of the two kinds.x
get.incidence(graph, types=NULL, attr=NULL, names=TRUE, sparse=FALSE)
graph |
The input graph. The direction of the edges is ignored in directed graphs. |
types |
An optional vertex type vector to use instead of the
‘type ’ vertex attribute. You must supply this argument
if the graph has no ‘type ’ vertex attribute. |
attr |
Either NULL or a character string giving an edge
attribute name. If NULL a traditional incidence matrix is
returned. If not NULL then the values of the given edge
attribute are included in the incidence matrix. If the graph has
multiple edges, the edge attribute of an arbitrarily chosen edge
(for the multiple edges) is included. |
names |
Logical scalar, if TRUE and the vertices in the
graph are named (i.e. the graph has a vertex attribute called
‘name ’), then vertex names will be added to the result
as row and column names. Otherwise the ids of the vertices are used
as row and column names. |
sparse |
Logical scalar, if it is TRUE then a sparse
matrix is created, you will need the Matrix package for this. |
Bipartite graphs have a ‘type
’ vertex attribute in
igraph, this is boolean and FALSE
for the vertices of the first
kind and TRUE
for vertices of the second kind.
The vertex ids corresponding to rows and columns in the incidence matrix are returned as row/column names.
A sparse or dense matrix.
