edge_density | R Documentation |
The density of a graph is the ratio of the actual number of edges and the largest possible number of edges in the graph, assuming that no multi-edges are present.
edge_density(graph, loops = FALSE)
graph |
The input graph. |
loops |
Logical constant, whether loop edges may exist in the graph. This affects the calculation of the largest possible number of edges in the graph. If this parameter is set to FALSE yet the graph contains self-loops, the result will not be meaningful. |
The concept of density is ill-defined for multigraphs. Note that this function does not check whether the graph has multi-edges and will return meaningless results for such graphs.
A real constant. This function returns NaN
(=0.0/0.0) for an
empty graph with zero vertices.
