| |
| Parameters |
| ---------- |
| G : NetworkX graph |
| |
| most_valuable_edge : function |
| Function that takes a graph as input and outputs an edge. The |
| edge returned by this function will be recomputed and removed at |
| each iteration of the algorithm. |
| |
| If not specified, the edge with the highest |
| :func:`networkx.edge_betweenness_centrality` will be used. |
| |
| Returns |
| ------- |
| iterator |
| Iterator over tuples of sets of nodes in `G`. Each set of node |
| is a community, each tuple is a sequence of communities at a |
| particular level of the algorithm. |
| |
| Examples |
| -------- |
| To get the first pair of communities:: |
| |
| >>> G = nx.path_graph(10) |
| >>> comp = nx.community.girvan_newman(G) |
| >>> tuple(sorted(c) for c in next(comp)) |
| ([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]) |
| |
| To get only the first *k* tuples of communities, use |
| :func:`itertools.islice`:: |
| |
| >>> import itertools |
| >>> G = nx.path_graph(8) |
| >>> k = 2 |
| >>> comp = nx.community.girvan_newman(G) |
| >>> for communities in itertools.islice(comp, k): |
| ... print(tuple(sorted(c) for c in communities)) |
| ... |
| ([0, 1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7]) |
| ([0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7]) |
| |
| To stop getting tuples of communities once the number of communities |
| is greater than *k*, use :func:`itertools.takewhile`:: |
| |
| >>> import itertools |
| >>> G = nx.path_graph(8) |
| >>> k = 4 |
| >>> comp = nx.community.girvan_newman(G) |
| >>> limited = itertools.takewhile(lambda c: len(c) <= k, comp) |
| >>> for communities in limited: |
| ... print(tuple(sorted(c) for c in communities)) |
| ... |
| ([0, 1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7]) |
| ([0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7]) |
| ([0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7]) |
| |
| To just choose an edge to remove based on the weight:: |
| |
| >>> from operator import itemgetter |
| >>> G = nx.path_graph(10) |
| >>> edges = G.edges() |
| >>> nx.set_edge_attributes(G, {(u, v): v for u, v in edges}, "weight") |
| >>> def heaviest(G): |
| ... u, v, w = max(G.edges(data="weight"), key=itemgetter(2)) |
| ... return (u, v) |
| ... |
| >>> comp = nx.community.girvan_newman(G, most_valuable_edge=heaviest) |
| >>> tuple(sorted(c) for c in next(comp)) |
| ([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], [9]) |
| |
| To utilize edge weights when choosing an edge with, for example, the |
| highest betweenness centrality:: |
| |
| >>> from networkx import edge_betweenness_centrality as betweenness |
| >>> def most_central_edge(G): |
| ... centrality = betweenness(G, weight="weight") |
| ... return max(centrality, key=centrality.get) |
| ... |
| >>> G = nx.path_graph(10) |
| >>> comp = nx.community.girvan_newman(G, most_valuable_edge=most_central_edge) |
| >>> tuple(sorted(c) for c in next(comp)) |
| ([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]) |
| |
| To specify a different ranking algorithm for edges, use the |
| `most_valuable_edge` keyword argument:: |
| |
| >>> from networkx import edge_betweenness_centrality |
| >>> from random import random |
| >>> def most_central_edge(G): |
| ... centrality = edge_betweenness_centrality(G) |
| ... max_cent = max(centrality.values()) |
| ... # Scale the centrality values so they are between 0 and 1, |
| ... # and add some random noise. |
| ... centrality = {e: c / max_cent for e, c in centrality.items()} |
| ... # Add some random noise. |
| ... centrality = {e: c + random() for e, c in centrality.items()} |
| ... return max(centrality, key=centrality.get) |
| ... |
| >>> G = nx.path_graph(10) |
| >>> comp = nx.community.girvan_newman(G, most_valuable_edge=most_central_edge) |
| |
| Notes |
| ----- |
| The Girvan–Newman algorithm detects communities by progressively |
| removing edges from the original graph. The algorithm removes the |
| "most valuable" edge, traditionally the edge with the highest |
| betweenness centrality, at each step. As the graph breaks down into |
| pieces, the tightly knit community structure is exposed and the |
| result can be depicted as a dendrogram. |
