For the GOT marriages data set, the fast/greedy, walktrap, and label propagation made the most sense in identifying communities. Fast and greedy was the most successful method due to it partitioning “Baratheon”, “Reach”, and “Tyrell” as a separate community from the northern kingdoms of “Tully” and “Arryn” where there was a weak or no relationship between the factions.
Edge betweeness failed to identify any communities within the dataset, whereas the Eigenvector failed to cluster some memberships such as the Reach being distinct from the Tyrell family (rulers of the region) and has strong marriage connections with the Baratheons.
