topologicalInfoContent: Topological Information Conten

In QuACN: QuACN: Quantitative Analysis of Complex Networks

Description

This method calculates the Topological Information Content.

Usage

topologicalInfoContent(g, dist = NULL, deg = NULL)

Arguments

g	a graph as a graphNEL object.
dist	the distance matrix of the graph. If the parameter is empty the distance matrix will be calculated within the function.
deg	the degree of each node of g.

Value

This method returns the Topological Information Content.
