Embeds/smooths a feature network using the basic SETSe algorithm. generally setse_auto or setse_bicomp is preferred.

setse(
  g,
  force = "force",
  distance = "distance",
  edge_name = "edge_name",
  k = "k",
  tstep = 0.02,
  mass = 1,
  max_iter = 20000,
  coef_drag = 1,
  tol = 1e-06,
  sparse = FALSE,
  two_node_solution = TRUE,
  sample = 1,
  static_limit = NULL,
  noisy_termination = TRUE
)

Arguments

g

An igraph object

force

A character string. This is the node attribute that contains the force the nodes exert on the network.

distance

A character string. The edge attribute that contains the original/horizontal distance between nodes.

edge_name

A character string. This is the edge attribute that contains the edge_name of the edges.

k

A character string. This is k for the moment don't change it.

tstep

A numeric. The time interval used to iterate through the network dynamics.

mass

A numeric. This is the mass constant of the nodes in normalised networks this is set to 1.

max_iter

An integer. The maximum number of iterations before stopping. Larger networks usually need more iterations.

coef_drag

A numeric.

tol

A numeric. The tolerance factor for early stopping.

sparse

Logical. Whether or not the function should be run using sparse matrices. must match the actual matrix, this could prob be automated

two_node_solution

Logical. The Newton-Raphson algo is used to find the correct angle

sample

Integer. The dynamics will be stored only if the iteration number is a multiple of the sample. This can greatly reduce the size of the results file for large numbers of iterations. Must be a multiple of the max_iter

static_limit

Numeric. The maximum value the static force can reach before the algorithm terminates early. This prevents calculation in a diverging system. The value should be set to some multiple greater than one of the force in the system. If left blank the static limit is twice the system absolute mean force.

noisy_termination

Stop the process if the static force does not monotonically decrease.

Value

A list containing 4 dataframes.

  1. The network dynamics describing several key figures of the network during the convergence process, this includes the static_force.

  2. The node embeddings. Includes all data on the nodes the forces exerted on them position and dynamics at simulation termination.

  3. time taken. the amount of time taken per component, includes the number of edges and nodes.

  4. The edge embeddings. Includes all data on the edges as well as the strain and tension values.

Details

This is the basic SETS embeddings algorithm, it outputs all elements of the embeddings as well as convergence dynamics. It is a wrapper around the core SETS algorithm which requires data preparation and only produces node embeddings and network dynamics. There is little reason to use this function as setse_auto and setse_bicomp are faster and easier to use.
