tnetwork.ComScenario.__init__

ComScenario.__init__(alpha=0.8, external_density_penalty=0.05, random_noise=0, verbose=False, variant='deterministic')

Initialize the community generation class

When initializing, we can set the parameters of the link generation

Parameters:

• alpha – alpha parameter that determines the density of communities decrease with size
• external_density_penalty – beta, how smaller the density of outside community is compared to a a community of the same size
• random_noise – beta_r, fraction of existing edges that are randomly rewired at each step
• verbose – If true, print debugging information
• variant – the variant of the generator controls the way edges are generated. Currently, only “deterministic” is fully suported
