randomWalkByMatrixInv {netSmooth} | R Documentation

## Smooth data on graph by computing the closed-form steady state distribution of the random walk with restarts process.

### Description

The closed-form solution is given by f_ss = (1 - alpha) * (I - alpha * A)^-1 * f_0 and is computed by matrix inversion in this function.

### Usage

    randomWalkByMatrixInv(f0, adjMatrix, alpha, normalizeAjdMatrix = c("rows",
      "columns"))

### Arguments

`f0` | initial data matrix [NxM]
`adjMatrix` | adjacency matrix of graph to network smooth on will be column-normalized.
`alpha` | smoothing coefficient (1 - restart probability of random walk)

### Value

network-smoothed gene expression
