topologicalInfoContent: Topological Information Conten

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
