Robustness of community structure to node removal
Abstract. The identification of community structures is essential for characterizing real networks formed by a mesoscopic level of organization where clusters contain nodes with a high internal degree of connectivity. Many methods have been developed to unveil community structures, but only a few studies have probed their suitability in incomplete networks. Here we assess the accuracy of commun...
متن کاملRobustness of community structure in networks.
The discovery of community structure is a common challenge in the analysis of network data. Many methods have been proposed for finding community structure, but few have been proposed for determining whether the structure found is statistically significant or whether, conversely, it could have arisen purely as a result of chance. In this paper we show that the significance of community structur...
متن کاملImproving community detection in networks by targeted node removal.
How a network breaks up into subnetworks or communities is of wide interest. Here we show that vertices connected to many other vertices across a network can disturb the community structures of otherwise ordered networks, introducing noise. We investigate strategies to identify and remove noisy vertices ("violators") and develop a quantitative approach using statistical breakpoints to identify ...
متن کاملImproving the Robustness of Complex Networks with Preserving Community Structure
Complex networks are everywhere, such as the power grid network, the airline network, the protein-protein interaction network, and the road network. The networks are 'robust yet fragile', which means that the networks are robust against random failures but fragile under malicious attacks. The cascading failures, system-wide disasters and intentional attacks on these networks are deserving of in...
متن کاملMeasuring robustness of community structure in complex networks
The theory of community structure is a powerful tool for real networks, which can simplify their topological and functional analysis considerably. However, since community detection methods have random factors and real social networks obtained from complex systems always contain error edges, evaluating the robustness of community structure is an urgent and important task. In this letter, we emp...
