transitivity: Calculate transitivity for an undirected graph

In RBGL: An interface to the BOOST graph library

Description

Calculate transitivity for an undirected graph

Usage

transitivity(g)

Arguments

g	an instance of the graph class

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.

Define transitivity T(G) = sum(delta(v)) / sum(tau(v)), for all v in V.

Value

Transitivity for graph g.
