Abstract

Real-data networks often appear to have strong modularity, or network-of-networks structure, in which subgraphs of various size and consistency occur. Finding the respective subgraph structure is of great importance, in particular for understanding the dynamics on these networks. Here we study modular networks using generalized method of maximum likelihood. We first demonstrate how the method works on computer-generated networks with the subgraphs of controlled connection strengths and clustering. We then implement the algorithm which is based on weights of links and show it's efficiency in finding weighted subgraphs on fully connected graph and on real-data network of yeast.
