Title
A community matching based approach to measuring layer similarity in multilayer networks
Abstract
•We propose an approach to assess layer similarity in multiplex networks based on community matching.•Extrinsic clustering evaluation metrics, such as purity and F-measure, are used to quantify the community matching.•The proposed similarity measure provides more consistent layer taxonomies than other approaches.•The choice of community detection algorithm does not have a significant impact on the similarity scores.•Similarity scores can be affected by the stopping criterion of the community detection algorithm.
