Computes the size of the largest clique (complete subgraph) in the network, also called the clique number or omega of the graph.

Usage

network_clique_size(x, ...)

Arguments

x

Network input: matrix, igraph, network, cograph_network, or tna object

...

Passed to to_igraph, whose only other argument is directed; anything else raises an "unused argument" error.

Value

Numeric scalar: the size of the largest clique.

Details

A clique is defined on undirected ties, so a directed network is read with each pair of nodes joined when either direction is present, and loops and repeated edges are dropped before counting.

Examples

network_clique_size(regulation_net)
