Re: [igraph] community detection significance

Thanks Tamás

I'm on it. The other methods described in several papers were somewhat more complex to code any time soon. I think your method will do fine.

All the best,

I think that 1) the modularity score is not a rigorous statistical test that gives you a p-value (not that the method I proposed is any more rigorous ;)) and 2) the modularity score assesses the significance of a community structure as a whole while the methods discussed here assess the significance of a _single_ community.

Best,
