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.
Arguments
- vecs
A numeric matrix in which each latent position vector is a column.
- directed
A logical scalar, TRUE if the generated graph should be directed.
- ...
Passed to
sample_dot_product().
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)
