Hello, I am working to evaluate the structure of shrub-pollinator networks using modularity analyses. I have generated 100 null model networks to test for modularity and extract c and z scores for each (measuring statistical significance in real networks). However, the output of the "czvalues" for all 100 null models comes out in one mass clump (See below code). The highlighted section in the below code is an example of the null c and z values. I have 17 plants in my shrub-pollinator network (represented by the whole numbers) and so the first 17 values are the c scores followed by the next 17 which are z scores and so on.
Is there a way I can easily separate out the c values from the z values? Or should I instead generate 100 null networks individually? R Code for null model generation and c and z output for nulls: library(bipartite) network<-read.csv(file.choose(), header = TRUE, row.names = 1) nw<-sortweb(network) weighted<-as.matrix(nw) nulls <- nullmodel(weighted, N=100, method=3) null.res <- unlist(sapply(nulls, metaComputeModules, USE.NAMES = TRUE)) #takes a while ... null.res ## [[1]] ## Slot "likelihood": ## [1] 0.1309568 ## ## ## [[2]] ## Slot "likelihood": ## [1] 0.1303186 ## ## ## [[3]] ## Slot "likelihood": ## [1] 0.14044 ............. ## [[100]] ## Slot "likelihood": ## [1] 0.1332231 null.cz<-unlist(sapply(null.res, czvalues, level = "lower", USE.NAMES = TRUE )) null.cz ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 ## 0.64147140 0.74959438 0.62019013 0.65895062 0.73724490 0.72664360 ## 7 8 9 10 11 12 ## 0.73553719 0.57500000 0.60204082 0.66000000 0.72000000 0.37500000 ## 13 14 15 16 17 1 ## 0.37500000 0.77777778 0.27777778 0.44444444 0.00000000 0.70710678 ## 2 3 4 5 6 7 ## 0.70710678 1.10729957 1.68025904 -0.70710678 -0.12539247 0.99339927 ## 8 9 10 11 12 13 ## 0.62696233 0.72849280 -0.27007306 -0.86094603 -0.83722650 -0.72727630 ## 14 15 16 17 1 2 ## -0.86094603 -0.42633438 -0.70710678 -1.02821822 0.65504683 0.62195782 ## 3 4 5 6 7 8 ## 0.65606509 0.70226843 0.71777778 0.58500000 0.71500000 0.74048443 ## 9 10 11 12 13 14 ## 0.70000000 0.44444444 0.57142857 0.75000000 0.62500000 0.66666667 ## 15 16 17 1 2 3 ## 0.44444444 0.44444444 0.00000000 0.70710678 1.04053196 NA ## 4 5 6 7 8 9 ## 0.70710678 -0.08671100 2.15643011 0.40204629 0.40204629 -0.47514562 Thank you for your time, Chelsea [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
