Community structure.

Communities are highly connected between them but with few links to other vertices. Calculate walktrap community using the advice nextwork, with isolates removed. This uses a random walk algorithm to identify communities. Pascal Pons, Matthieu Latapy: Computing communities in large networks using random walks, http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0512106.

Edge betweenness centrality

plot of chunk edge-betweenness

Plot shows the five edges that provide the most connectivity. These are as follows:

Edge sequence:

[112] JaneCoad        -> AnnSmallman    
[1]   AnnSmallman     -> CarolynBishop  
[33]  CarolynBishop   -> AnnSmallman    
[5]   AnnSmallman     -> DeborahGoodrich
[14]  AnnSmallman     -> ManjulaShenoy  

Ann Smallman looks like a particularly important bridge in the advice network.

Network characteristics

Have to restrict to ties between respondents only.

dens <- function(g) {
    n.edge <- ecount(g)
    n.vert <- vcount(g)
    e.max <- n.vert^2 - n.vert
    if (is.directed(g)) {
        n.edge/e.max
    } else {
        n.edge/(e.max/2)
    }
}

Density of knows network: 0.6667
Density of advice network: 0.4
Density of leadership network: 0.4111
Density of influence network: 0.3111
