The main indices of centrality and prestige of vertices - summary () not generating vertex description tables

[statosphere-research]

Hi,

I am trying to generate the vertex statistics of a network, using the following commands:

netstat <- networkStat(NetMatrix) summary(netstat,k=10)

However, it generates only the "main information about the network" but NOT the -"vertex description through several tables".

Please advise.

Thanks & regards

You have to set the arguments: stat="all" type = "degree" (or another vertex centrality measure) in the function networkStat to calculate also the vertex statistics. e.g. data(scientometrics, package = "bibliometrixData")

NetMatrix <- biblioNetwork(scientometrics, analysis = "co-citation", network = "references", sep = ";") netstat <- networkStat(NetMatrix, stat = "all", type = "degree") summary(netstat,k=10)

Main statistics about the network

Size 4283 Density 0.022 Transitivity 0.684 Diameter 4 Degree Centralization 0.468 Average path length 2.456

Main measures of centrality and prestige of vertices

Degree Centrality: Top vertices

Vertex ID Degree Centrality 1 SMALL H 1973 0.490 2 WHITE HD 1998 0.280 3 KESSLER MM 1963-1 0.272 4 MCCAIN KW 1990 0.241 5 BARNEY J 1991 0.233 6 WHITE HD 1981-1 0.230 7 NELSON R. 1982 0.216 8 SMALL H 1974 0.197 9 PRICE DJD 1965-1 0.191 10 SMALL H 1985-1 0.190

Dear Massimo Aria,

It works. Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards

This issue has now been resolved to my satisfaction. Thanks

@massimoaria Sir, the function networkStat supports the argument type = "all" (ref): what is the purpose of that? in place of type="degree" I have used type="all" in the call to networkStat; only the main information about the network is displayed (not the section on 'Main measures of centrality and prestige of vertices')

Is this what is expected?

Thanks in advance: SRoy
