pymnet.read_edge_file¶

pymnet.read_edge_file(inputfile, couplings='categorical', fullyInterconnected=True, directed=False, sep='\t')¶

Read a multiplex file following the syntax:

layer1{int}|sep|node1{int}|sep|node2{int}|sep|weight{float}

...

layer_l{int}|sep|node_i{int}|sep|node_j{int}|sep|weight_k{float}

Self-links are ignored.

Parameters:

inputfile: str: Name of the input file.
couplingslist, str, tuple, None, MultilayerNetwork: Parameter determining how the layers are coupled, i.e., what inter-layer edges are present. Passed to the constructor of MultiplexNetwork.
fullyInterconnectedbool: If False, nodes having zero degree on a layer are not added to that layer. Default is True.
directed: bool: If True, treat the input file as a directed edge list. Default is False.
sep: str: Column separator. Default is tab character.

Returns:
