Thanks for your response, Gábor. It would be great to have this
feature added, since most of the other community detection functions can
handle weighted networks. I also noticed that the
leading.eigenvector.community function doesn't use weights. I haven't
been able to find a detailed reference about how weights could be
accommodated for the leading eigenvector method. However, David Lusseau,
who has work with M. Newman, briefly outlines a weighted version (Animal
Behaviour, 2008, vol 75, pg 1812). There might be enough info in that
reference to figure out how to add this feature too. Thanks for all your
work to incorporate weighted network analysis into igraph.
Best,
Andrew
