Convert Multilayer Network to Supra-Adjacency Matrix (SAM)

Usage

convert_to_supra_adjacency(
  igraph_list,
  layer_names = NULL,
  interlayer_weight = 1,
  isDirected = TRUE,
  sparse = TRUE,
  use_names = FALSE,
  interlayer = TRUE,
  clean = TRUE
)

Arguments

igraph_list: A list of igraph objects (each representing a layer).
layer_names: (Optional) A vector of names for each layer.
interlayer_weight: Numeric, the weight for interlayer links (default: 1).
isDirected: Logical, whether the network is directed.
sparse: Logical, whether to return the supra-adjacency matrix as a sparse matrix (default: TRUE).
use_names: Logical; if TRUE, edges will use node names instead of numeric IDs (default: FALSE).
interlayer: Logical; if FALSE, no interlayer links are added (default: TRUE).
clean: Logical; if TRUE, removes empty rows/columns (state nodes with no edges) from the output (default: TRUE).

Value

A list with:

supra_matrix: Supra-adjacency matrix with optional inter-layer links.
state_nodes_map: Mapping of state nodes (layer-node combinations).
