infomapecology: A package for running Infomap, inspired by ecological networks
The package contains functions that prepare monolayer and multilayer networks for analysis with Infomap, run Infomap from within R and parse the results back to R. It is inspired by analysis of ecological networks but is suitable for other areas of research as well. The package also includes several data sets of ecological networks.
