Hello, 

I have a question/comment about the leading.eigenvector.community function in 
igraph 

It has an argument for weights, but this seems to make no difference to the 
calculated clusters/resulting modularity

Indeed I don’t think Newman’s algorithm takes edge weights into account?

Is it the case that the weights are only used after the community detection has 
taken place, to calculate a modularity value? Is it appropriate to use the 
weights to calculate modularity, can anyone advise me what is the ‘right’ thing 
to do with a weighted, undirected network - is it definitely to use the weights 
in the modularity calculation, or is there a free choice

Perhaps these issues could be made clearer in the function help

Thanks
