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. |
