#' Cocitation coupling
#'
#' Two vertices are cocited if there is another vertex citing both of them.
#' `cocitation()` simply counts how many types two vertices are cocited. The
#' bibliographic coupling of two vertices is the number of other vertices they
#' both cite, `bibcoupling()` calculates this.
#'
#' `cocitation()` calculates the cocitation counts for the vertices in the
#' `v` argument and all vertices in the graph.
#'
#' `bibcoupling()` calculates the bibliographic coupling for vertices in
#' `v` and all vertices in the graph.
#'
#' Calculating the cocitation or bibliographic coupling for only one vertex
#' costs the same amount of computation as for all vertices. This might change
#' in the future.
#'
#' @aliases cocitation bibcoupling
#' @param graph The graph object to analyze
#' @param v Vertex sequence or numeric vector, the vertex ids for which the
#'   cocitation or bibliographic coupling values we want to calculate. The
#'   default is all vertices.
#' @return A numeric matrix with `length(v)` lines and
#'   `vcount(graph)` columns. Element `(i,j)` contains the cocitation
#'   or bibliographic coupling for vertices `v[i]` and `j`.
