Generate random graphs according to the random dot product graph model
Source:R/games.R
sample_dot_product.RdIn this model, each vertex is represented by a latent position vector. Probability of an edge between two vertices are given by the dot product of their latent position vectors.
Details
The dot product of the latent position vectors should be in the [0,1] interval, otherwise a warning is given. For negative dot products, no edges are added; dot products that are larger than one always add an edge.

Examples
## A randomly generated graph
lpvs <- matrix(rnorm(200), 20, 10)
lpvs <- apply(lpvs, 2, function(x) {
return(abs(x) / sqrt(sum(x^2)))
})
g <- sample_dot_product(lpvs)
