Convert Infomap Community Output to muxViz-Compatible Format

Source: R/plot_multiplex.R
convert_infomap_result_to_muxviz.Rd

This function converts the community detection result from run_infomap_multi() (from the multiweb package) into a format compatible with muxViz, allowing direct use with visualization function plot_multimodules().

Usage

convert_infomap_result_to_muxviz(communities)

Arguments

communities

A data frame returned by run_infomap_multi()$communities, containing columns node, layer, module, and flow.

Value

A named list with the following components:

membership.multi

A data frame with columns node, layer, and module representing the state node assignment. Node and layer are returned as integers (1-based index).

membership.aggr

A data frame with columns node and module, where each physical node is assigned to its dominant module across all layers.

modules.multi

Integer; the number of unique modules detected in the multilayer network.

modules.aggr

Integer; the number of unique modules in the aggregated network.

Details

It creates two key data frames:

  • membership.multi: Community membership for each node-layer combination.

  • membership.aggr: Aggregate community membership per physical node (across layers), based on the highest flow.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Run Infomap community detection on a multiplex ecological network
g_list <- readNetwork(dn, fileName, skipColumn = 2)
names(g_list) <- c("Negative", "Positive", "Trophic")
result <- run_infomap_multi(g_list, layer_names = names(g_list))

# Convert for muxViz plotting
mux_data <- convert_infomap_result_to_muxviz(result$communities)

# Visualize
plot_multimodules(mux_data)
} # }
