transitivity: Transitivity of a graph

Description

Transitivity measures the probability that the adjacent vertices of a vertex are connected. This is sometimes also called the clustering coefficient.

Usage

transitivity(graph, type="undirected")

Arguments

graph

The graph to analyze.

type

The type of the transitivity to calculate. Possible values: undirected calculates the global transitivity of an undirected graph (directed graphs are considered as undirected ones as well). This is simply the rati

Value

• For undirected a single number, or NaN if there are no connected triples in the graph.

Examples

g <- graph.ring(10)
transitivity(g)
g2 <- erdos.renyi.game(1000, 10/1000)
transitivity(g2)   # this is about 10/1000
