In RandomWalkRestartMH: Random walk with restart on multiplex and heterogeneous Networks

Description

compute.transition.matrix is a function to compute the transition matrix of a multiplex heterogeneous network provided as a MultiplexHet object.

Usage

compute.transition.matrix(x,lambda = 0.5, delta=0.5)

Arguments

x	A MultiplexHet object describing a multiplex and heterogeneous network generated by the function create.multiplexHet.
lambda	A numeric value between 0 and 1. It sets the probability of jumping within a network or change to the other network of the heterogeneous system. It is set by default to 0.5. See more details below.
delta	A numeric value between 0 and 1. It sets the probability of performing inter-layer versus intra-layer transitions. It is set by default to 0.5. See more details below.

Details

We clarify the role of the different parameters in this point:

• lambda: For a given node, if a bipartite association exists, the particle can either jump between networks or stay in the current graph with a probability given by this parameter. The closer lambda is to one, the higher is the probability of jumping between networks following bipartite interactions.

• delta: This parameter sets the probability to change between layers at the next step. If delta = 0, the particle will always remain in the same layer after a non-restart iteration. On the other hand, if delta = 1, the particle will always change between layers, therefore not following the specific edges of each layer.

Value

A square sparse transition matrix created with the Matrix package. It is the transition matrix for the Random Walk with Restart on Multiplex and Heterogeneous networks algorithm.
