Fig. 4. Comparison of the flow stability method with the multilayer modularity on synthetic network with a continuously changing structure.

Fig. 4.

The connections of the eight nodes change linearly from an initial structure in two communities: (1, 2, 3, 4) and (5, 6, 7, 8), to a final structure: (1, 2, 7, 8) and (3, 4, 5, 6). (A and C) Average and SD of the number of clusters as a function of the resolution parameter for the flow stability and multilayer modularity, respectively. (B and D) Average and SD of the NVI as a function of the resolution parameter for the flow stability and multilayer modularity, respectively. (E and G) Forward and backward partitions found with the flow stability for two different ranges of values of the resolution parameter that capture the two dynamic scales of the temporal network. (F and H) Partitions found with the multilayer modularity at two different values of the resolution parameter corresponding to local minima of the NVI.
