netUtils is a collection of tools for network analysis that may not deserve a package on their own and/or are missing from other network packages.

## Installation

You can install the development version of netUtils with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("schochastics/netUtils")


## Functions

(The functions listed below are just a sample of the available methods)
most functions only support igraph objects

helper/convenience functions
biggest_component() extract the biggest connected component of a network.
delete_isolates() delete vertices with degree zero.
bipartite_from_data_frame() create a two mode network from a data frame.
clique_vertex_mat() compute the clique vertex matrix
graph_cartesian() computes the Cartesian product of two graphs
graph_direct() computes the direct (or tensor) product of graphs

methods
graph_kpartite() create a random k-partite network.

triad_census_attr() calculate triad census with vertex attributes.
structural_equivalence() finds structurally equivalent vertices.
core_periphery() to fit a discrete core periphery model.
sample_coreseq() creates a random graph with given coreness sequence.
fast_clique() to calculate cliques with MACE (sometimes faster than igraph)
sample_pa_homophilic() to create a preferential attachment graph with two groups of nodes
