Machine Learning/Kaggle Social Network Contest/Network Description
Here we can put the descriptive statistics of the network:
- Number of fully sampled nodes: 37,689
- ie the unique "outnodes" in the edge list
- Total number of nodes: 1,133,547
- number of edges: 7,237,983
Conectivity
"A digraph is strongly connected if every vertex is reachable from every other following the directions of the arcs. On the contrary, a digraph is weakly connected if its underlying undirected graph is connected. A weakly connected graph can be thought of as a digraph in which every vertex is "reachable" from every other but not necessarily following the directions of the arcs. A strong orientation is an orientation that produces a strongly connected digraph." wikipedia
- The Training Graph is not weakly connected
- It contains 27 subgraphs This means that it can be broken down into at least two discrete subgraphs.
- c.f. igraph clustering
- There is one very large cluster containing all but 154 verticies, then 4 with size 10 - 37, 8 sized 3 - 7 and 13 size 2
- note that igraph seems to create a vertex labelled 0 but the labels in the traindata file range from 1 to 1133547
- I also grabbed the number of strongly connected subgraphs
Cluster Size | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 9 | 10 | 32464 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
freq | 1100647 | 162 | 18 | 5 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
When I added all of the test data to the graph and then re-ran the cluster analysis it found 22 clusters instead of 27. The largest cluster grew by 72 vertices.
Cluster Size | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 10 | 23 | 37 | 1133394 | 1133466 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Train | 1 | 13 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Train + Test | 1 | 13 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Is it more likely that clusters were created by removing nodes or that they merged due to randomly adding nodes?
- TODO: figure out probs of adding and removing nodes under different sampling hypotheses.
- TODO: identify the edges which are merging the clusters
- I'm guessing that the chances of a randomly generated edge joins the small clusters is very low.
- Diameter of the directed graph is 14
- This is the longest of the shortest directed paths between two nodes
- R igraph
- diameter (dg, directed = TRUE, unconnected = TRUE)
- Was taking forever so I aborted (after 34 minutes...)
- Total number of direct neighbours out: 7 275 672, in: 508 688, all: 7 473 273
- For each of our 38k I calculated the number of outbound neighbours and summed it
- R igraph:
- sum(neighborhood.size(dg, 1, nodes=myGuys, mode="out"))
- mode = "in", "out" or "all"
