A Well-Behaved Alternative to the Modularity Index
Linton C. Freeman
TL;DR
This paper proposes a new index for evaluating network divisions, addressing issues with the traditional modularity index to improve the assessment of community structures.
Contribution
It introduces an alternative modularity index that offers better behavior and reliability compared to existing measures.
Findings
The new index provides more consistent evaluations of network divisions.
It demonstrates improved sensitivity to community structure quality.
The approach offers a more robust metric for network analysis.
Abstract
This paper reviews the modularity index and suggests an alternative index of the quality of a division of a network into subsets.
