Relaxations in practical clustering and blockmodeling

Network analysts try to explain the structure of complex networks by the partitioning of their nodes into - groups. These groups are either required to be dense (clustering) or to contain vertices of equivalent - positions (blockmodeling). However, there is a variety of definitions and quality measu...

Zusammenfassung:Network analysts try to explain the structure of complex networks by the partitioning of their nodes into - groups. These groups are either required to be dense (clustering) or to contain vertices of equivalent - positions (blockmodeling). However, there is a variety of definitions and quality measures to achieve the - groupings. In surveys, only few mathematical connections between the various definitions are mentioned. - In this paper, we show that most of the definitions used in practice can be seen as certain relaxations of - four basic graph theoretical definitions. The theory holds for both clustering and blockmodeling. It can be - used as the basis of a methodological analysis of different practical approaches.
