However, in many empirical contexts, some information about the uncertainty in the network measurements can be estimated. In this work, we extend the recently developed Flow Stability framework, originally designed for detecting communities in time-varying networks, to address the problem of community detection in weighted, directed networks with missing links. Our approach leverages known uncertainty levels in nodes’ out-degrees to enhance the robustness of community detection. Through comparisons on synthetic networks and a real-world network of messaging channels on the Telegram platform, we demonstrate that our method delivers more reliable community structures, even when a significant portion of data is missing.},
