degree_balance: Analyze Degree Balance of a Graph

In ig.degree.betweenness: "Node+Edge Betweenness Community Detection Algorithm for 'igraph' Objects"

Analyze Degree Balance of a Graph

Description

Computes and summarizes vertex degree distributions for an igraph object. For directed graphs, the function reports in-degree and out-degree statistics, including their correlation and mean values. For undirected graphs, only overall degree statistics are reported.

Usage

degree_balance(g)

Arguments

g	An igraph graph object.

Details

If the graph is directed (see igraph::is_directed()), the function:

• Computes in-degree and out-degree for each vertex.

• Prints summary statistics for both distributions.

• Reports the correlation between in-degree and out-degree.

• Reports mean in-degree and mean out-degree.

If the graph is undirected, the function:

• Computes the degree for each vertex.

• Prints summary statistics of the degree distribution.

Value

A list containing:

• out_degree Numeric vector of out-degrees (directed graphs only).

• in_degree Numeric vector of in-degrees (directed graphs only).

• degree Numeric vector of degrees (undirected graphs only).

Examples

library(igraph)
library(ig.degree.betweenness)

# Directed graph example
g_directed <- make_ring(10, directed = TRUE)
degree_balance(g_directed)

# Undirected graph example
g_undirected <- make_ring(10)
degree_balance(g_undirected)
