entropyrate2int

NAME

entropyrate2int - compute the entropy rate of intensive biased walks in a multiplex with 2 layers.

SYNOPSYS

entropyrate2int <layer1> <layer2> < overlappingnetwork > <N> b₁ b₂

DESCRIPTION

Compute and print the entropy rate of an intensive biased walks in a multiplex with 2 layers and bias parameters b_p and b_o. Files layer1, layer2, contain the (undirected) edge list of the two layer, and each line is in the format:

  src_ID dest_ID

where src_ID and dest_ID are the IDs of the two endpoints of an edge.

The file overlapping network has also a third column indicating the number of times two nodes are connected across all layers.

N is the number of nodes, b_p is the biased exponent on the participation coefficient, b_o is the biased exponent on the overlapping degree.

OUTPUT

One line, reporting the value of the entropy rate h of an intensive biased random walks with b_p and b_o as bias exponents, b_p and b_o.
