best_partition
(graph, partition=None, weight='weight', resolution=1.0, randomize=None, random_state=None)¶ Compute the partition of the graph nodes which maximises the modularity (or try..) using the Louvain heuristices
This is the partition of highest modularity, i.e. the highest partition of the dendrogram generated by the Louvain algorithm.
Parameters: - graph : networkx.Graph
the networkx graph which is decomposed
- partition : dict, optional
the algorithm will start using this partition of the nodes. It’s a dictionary where keys are their nodes and values the communities
- weight : str, optional
the key in graph to use as weight. Default to ‘weight’
- resolution : double, optional
Will change the size of the communities, default to 1. represents the time described in “Laplacian Dynamics and Multiscale Modular Structure in Networks”, R. Lambiotte, J.-C. Delvenne, M. Barahona
- randomize : boolean, optional
Will randomize the node evaluation order and the community evaluation order to get different partitions at each call
- random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)
If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random.
Returns: - partition : dictionnary
The partition, with communities numbered from 0 to number of communities
Raises: - NetworkXError
If the graph is not undirected.

Examples
>>> # basic usage >>> import community as community_louvain >>> import networkx as nx >>> G = nx.erdos_renyi_graph(100, 0.01) >>> partion = community_louvain.best_partition(G)
>>> # display a graph with its communities: >>> # as Erdos-Renyi graphs don't have true community structure, >>> # instead load the karate club graph >>> import community as community_louvain >>> import matplotlib.cm as cm >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> import networkx as nx >>> G = nx.karate_club_graph() >>> # compute the best partition >>> partition = community_louvain.best_partition(G)
>>> # draw the graph >>> pos = nx.spring_layout(G) >>> # color the nodes according to their partition >>> cmap = cm.get_cmap('viridis', max(partition.values()) + 1) >>> nx.draw_networkx_nodes(G, pos, partition.keys(), node_size=40, >>> cmap=cmap, node_color=list(partition.values())) >>> nx.draw_networkx_edges(G, pos, alpha=0.5) >>> plt.show()

generate_dendrogram
(graph, part_init=None, weight='weight', resolution=1.0, randomize=None, random_state=None)¶ Find communities in the graph and return the associated dendrogram
A dendrogram is a tree and each level is a partition of the graph nodes. Level 0 is the first partition, which contains the smallest communities, and the best is len(dendrogram) - 1. The higher the level is, the bigger are the communities
Parameters: - graph : networkx.Graph
the networkx graph which will be decomposed
- part_init : dict, optional
the algorithm will start using this partition of the nodes. It’s a dictionary where keys are their nodes and values the communities
- weight : str, optional
the key in graph to use as weight. Default to ‘weight’
- resolution : double, optional
Will change the size of the communities, default to 1. represents the time described in “Laplacian Dynamics and Multiscale Modular Structure in Networks”, R. Lambiotte, J.-C. Delvenne, M. Barahona
Returns: - dendrogram : list of dictionaries
a list of partitions, ie dictionnaries where keys of the i+1 are the values of the i. and where keys of the first are the nodes of graph
Raises: - TypeError
If the graph is not a networkx.Graph

induced_graph
(partition, graph, weight='weight')¶ Produce the graph where nodes are the communities
there is a link of weight w between communities if the sum of the weights of the links between their elements is w
Parameters: - partition : dict
a dictionary where keys are graph nodes and values the part the node belongs to
- graph : networkx.Graph
the initial graph
- weight : str, optional
the key in graph to use as weight. Default to ‘weight’
Returns: - g : networkx.Graph
a networkx graph where nodes are the parts
Examples
>>> n = 5 >>> g = nx.complete_graph(2*n) >>> part = dict([]) >>> for node in g.nodes() : >>> part[node] = node % 2 >>> ind = induced_graph(part, g) >>> goal = nx.Graph() >>> goal.add_weighted_edges_from([(0,1,n*n),(0,0,n*(n-1)/2), (1, 1, n*(n-1)/2)]) # NOQA >>> nx.is_isomorphic(ind, goal) True

modularity
(partition, graph, weight='weight')¶ Compute the modularity of a partition of a graph
Parameters: - partition : dict
the partition of the nodes, i.e a dictionary where keys are their nodes and values the communities
- graph : networkx.Graph
the networkx graph which is decomposed
- weight : str, optional
the key in graph to use as weight. Default to ‘weight’
Returns: - modularity : float
The modularity
Raises: - KeyError
If the partition is not a partition of all graph nodes
- ValueError
If the graph has no link
- TypeError
If graph is not a networkx.Graph

partition_at_level
(dendrogram, level)¶ Return the partition of the nodes at the given level
A dendrogram is a tree and each level is a partition of the graph nodes. Level 0 is the first partition, which contains the smallest communities, and the best is len(dendrogram) - 1. The higher the level is, the bigger are the communities
Parameters: - dendrogram : list of dict
a list of partitions, ie dictionnaries where keys of the i+1 are the values of the i.
- level : int
the level which belongs to [0..len(dendrogram)-1]
Returns: - partition : dictionnary
A dictionary where keys are the nodes and the values are the set it belongs to
Raises: - KeyError
If the dendrogram is not well formed or the level is too high

- which directly combines partition_at_level and
generate_dendrogram
- to obtain the partition of highest modularity
Examples
>>> G=nx.erdos_renyi_graph(100, 0.01) >>> dendrogram = generate_dendrogram(G) >>> for level in range(len(dendrogram) - 1) : >>> print("partition at level", level, "is", partition_at_level(dendrogram, level)) # NOQA
