neko.core.network.Network.connect_subgroup

Network.connect_subgroup(group: str | DataFrame | list[str], maxlen: int = 1, only_signed: bool = False, consensus: bool = False)

This function is used to connect all the nodes in a particular subgroup. It iterates over all pairs of nodes in the subgroup and finds paths between them in the resources’ database. If a path is found, it is added to the edge list of the network. The function also filters out unsigned paths if the only_signed flag is set to True.

Parameters: - group: A list of nodes representing the subgroup to connect. Nodes can be represented as strings, pandas DataFrame, or list of strings. - maxlen: The maximum length of the paths to be searched for in the resources’ database. Default is 1. - only_signed: A boolean flag indicating whether to only add signed interactions to the network. Default is False. - consensus: A boolean flag indicating whether to only add signed interactions with consensus among references to the network. Default is False.

Returns: None. The function modifies the network object in-place.
