Abstract
This article explores the importance of examining the solution space in community detection, highlighting its role in achieving reliable results when dealing with real-world problems. A Bayesian framework is used to estimate the stability of the solution space and classify it into categories Single, Dominant, Multiple, Sparse or Empty. By applying this approach to real-world networks, the study highlights the importance of considering multiple solutions rather than relying on a single partition. This ensures more reliable results and efficient use of computational resources in community detection analysis.
