Connectedness community detection algorithms

This family of community detection algorithms considers whether two users are connected in a network or not to determine the community partition of the network. We differentiate two methods:

Strongly connected components

Under this algorithm, two nodes belong to the same component if there is a finite length path between them in both directions. This method considers the network directionality. In undirected networks, it is equivalent to the Weakly connected components algorithm.

Strongly connected components:

Weakly connected components

Under this algorithm, two nodes belong to the same component if there is a finite length path between them without considering the direction of the edges.

The configuration file for the original method is the following
