Compute the dissimilarity between 2 mesoscale structures

Usage

dist_bmpop_max(
  pi,
  alpha,
  delta = c(1, 1),
  weight = "max",
  norm = "L2",
  directed
)

Arguments

pi: A list of two probability vectors
alpha: A list of two connectivity matrices
delta: A vector of 2 density parameters (optional)
weight: One of "max" (default) or "mean". See details
norm: "L1"or "L2" norm for the computation
directed: Are the structure of the networks directed?

Value

The dissimilarity between two mesoscale structure.

Details

If weight is "max" then the weight of each block is computed as pmax(pi[[1]], pi[[2]]). If "mean", then we take the average. "max" penalize to a greater extent the difference in block proportion between structure.
