Thanks Minh,
The papers look interesting. Has anyone implemented any of the methods into igraph (or any other library for that matter)? I'm a microbial ecologist, not a mathematician or a computer scientist. I like to use statistical methods but haven't got the knowledge, time or inclination to write complex algorithms.
Chen -- do you mean edge.betweenness.community()?
I tried it but then R hangs (haven't tried letting run for a few hours though).

I appreciate your help,
Roey

Hi,

Have you used the Weighted Girvan-Newman community detected algorithm
in the library to detect community?
I am not sure what the edge weight represent in this algorithm in
Igraph, similarity or distance?

Thanks,

    There is a general class of statistical tests called the significance
    of community.  The relevant ideas and techniques can be found in the
    following papers.
