Graph motifs

Graph motifs are small connected induced subgraphs with a well-defined structure. These functions search a graph for various motifs.

Usage

count_motifs(graph, size = 3, cut.prob = NULL)

Arguments

graph

Graph object, the input graph.

size

The size of the motif.

cut.prob

Numeric vector giving the probabilities that the search graph is cut at a certain level. Its length should be the same as the size of the motif (the size argument). If NULL, the default, no cuts are made.

Value

count_motifs() returns a numeric scalar.

Details

count_motifs() calculates the total number of motifs of a given size in graph.

Examples

g <- sample_pa(100)
motifs(g, 3)
#>  [1]  NA  NA 474  NA  90   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
count_motifs(g, 3)
#> [1] 564
sample_motifs(g, 3)
#> [1] 400
