Evaluating Local Community Methods in Networks

Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability 2008-08-05 v2 Physics and Society

Abstract

We present a new benchmarking procedure that is unambiguous and specific to local community-finding methods, allowing one to compare the accuracy of various methods. We apply this to new and existing algorithms. A simple class of synthetic benchmark networks is also developed, capable of testing properties specific to these local methods.
