This is multired-0.1.
This is a Python implmementation of the algorithm for structural
reduction of multi-layer networks based on the Von Neumann and on the
Quantum Jensen-Shannon divergence of graphs, as explained in:
M. De Domenico. V. Nicosia, A. Arenas, V. Latora
"Structural reducibility of multilayer networks",
Nat. Commun. 6, 6864 (2015) doi:10.1038/ncomms7864
If you happen to find any use of this code please do not forget to
cite that paper ;-)
--------------------
INFO
--------------------
The module "multired.py" provides the class "multiplex_red", which
implements the algorithm to reduce a multilayer network described in
the paper cited above.
In order to use it, you just need to
import multired as mr
in your python script and create a multiplex_red object. Please make
sure that "multired.py" is in PYTHONPATH. The constructor requires as
its first argument the path of a file which in turn contains a list of
files (one for each line) where the graph of each layer is to be
found.
The class provides one set of methods which perform the exact
evaluation of the Von Neumann entropy, and another set of methods
(those whose name end with the suffix "_approx") which rely on a
polynomial approximation of the Von Neumann entropy. By default the
approximation is based on a 10th order polynomial fit of x log(x) in
[0,1], but the order of the polynomial can be set through the
parameter "fit_degree" of the constructor.
Several sample scripts can be found in the "test/" directory.
--------------------
DEPENDENCIES
--------------------
The only strict dependencies are a recent version of Python, Numpy and
SciPy. The methods "draw_dendrogram" and "draw_dendrogram_approx" will
work only if matplotlib is installed.
The module has been tested on a Debian GNU/Linux system, using:
- Python 2.7.8,
- SciPy 0.13.3
- Numpy 1.8.2
- matplotlib 1.3.1
but it will almost surely work on other platforms and/or with other
versions of those packages. If you would like to report a working
configuration, just email me (the address is at the beginning of this
file).
