The method is described in detail in the paper:
V. Policastro, M. Magnani, C. Angelini and A. Carissimo(2024). INet for network integration. Computational Statistics. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00180-024-01536-8
For the installation in R:
devtools::install_github("ValeriaPolicastro/INet-Tool")
We want to identify general information by building a Consensus Network and then to obtain Case-Specific Networks one for each layer with the information present only in that layer and not in all the others.
Important Functions:
consensusNet to create the Consensus Network
specificNet to create the Case Specific Network
thresholdNet to change the threshold of the consensus from the similar layer after the algorithm
JWmean to see how distant are the layers at the beginning
Integration Network Algorithm:
