Build a single network — build_network • networkflow

Convenience wrapper around build_dynamic_networks() for a single network.

Usage

build_network(
  nodes,
  directed_edges,
  source_id,
  target_id,
  projection_method,
  cooccurrence_method = c("coupling_angle", "coupling_strength", "coupling_similarity"),
  edges_threshold = 1,
  compute_size = FALSE,
  keep_singleton = FALSE,
  filter_components = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

nodes: Table of nodes and their metadata. One row per node. For example, a table of articles with identifiers, authors, publication year, etc.
directed_edges: Table of bipartite links between source_id nodes and target_id entities (e.g., article -> reference, author -> paper).
source_id: Quoted name of the source-side node identifier.
target_id: Quoted name of the target-side identifier linked to each source node.
projection_method: Method used to build the single network. Must be one of "structured" or "statistical".
cooccurrence_method: Cooccurrence method used by the structured workflow.
edges_threshold: Threshold used to filter weak edges in structured mode.
compute_size: Logical. If TRUE, computes the number of incoming edges per node (e.g., citation count).
keep_singleton: Logical. If FALSE, removes nodes with no edges in the final network.
filter_components: Logical. If TRUE, keeps only the main component(s) using networkflow::filter_components().
...: Additional arguments passed to filter_components().
