Class PlantedPartitionGraphGenerator<V,​E>

  • Type Parameters:
    V - the graph vertex type
    E - the graph edge type
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    GraphGenerator<V,​E,​V>

    public class PlantedPartitionGraphGenerator<V,​E>
    extends Object
    implements GraphGenerator<V,​E,​V>
    Create a random $l$-planted partition graph. An $l$-planted partition graph is a random graph on $n = l \cdot k$ vertices subdivided in $l$ groups with $k$ vertices each. Vertices within the same group are connected by an edge with probability $p$, while vertices belonging to different groups are connected by an edge with probability $q$.

    The $l$-planted partition model is a special case of the Stochastic Block Model. If the probability matrix is a constant, in the sense that $P_{ij}=p$ for all $i,j$, then the result is the Erdős–Rényi model $\mathcal G(n,p)$. This case is degenerate—the partition into communities becomes irrelevant— but it illustrates a close relationship to the Erdős–Rényi model. For more information on planted graphs, refer to:
