clusteringCoef: Calculate clustering coefficient for an undirected graph

In RBGL: An interface to the BOOST graph library

Description

Calculate clustering coefficient for an undirected graph

Usage

clusteringCoef(g, Weighted=FALSE, vW=degree(g))

Arguments

g	an instance of the graph class
Weighted	calculate weighted clustering coefficient or not
vW	vertex weights to use when calculating weighted clustering coefficient

Details

For an undirected graph G, let delta(v) be the number of triangles with v as a node, let tau(v) be the number of triples, i.e., paths of length 2 with v as the center node.

Let V' be the set of nodes with degree at least 2.

Define clustering coefficient for v, c(v) = (delta(v) / tau(v)).

Define clustering coefficient for G, C(G) = sum(c(v)) / |V'|, for all v in V'.

Define weighted clustering coefficient for g, Cw(G) = sum(w(v) * c(v)) / sum(w(v)), for all v in V'.

Value

Clustering coefficient for graph G.
