Clustering coefficient of a graph
This generic function takes an object that inherits from the graph
class. The graph needs to have edgemode=="undirected"
. If it has
edgemode=="directed"
, the function will return NULL.
## S4 method for signature 'graph' clusteringCoefficient(object, selfLoops=FALSE)
object |
An instance of the appropriate graph class. |
selfLoops |
Logical. If true, the calculation takes self loops into account. |
For a node with n adjacent nodes, if selfLoops
is
FALSE
, the clustering coefficent is
N/(n*(n-1)), where N is the number of edges between these nodes.
The graph may not have self loops.
If selfLoops
is TRUE
, the clustering coefficent is
N/(n*n), where N is the number of edges between these nodes,
including self loops.
A named numeric vector with the clustering coefficients for each node. For nodes with 2 or more edges, the values are between 0 and 1. For nodes that have no edges, the function returns the value NA. For nodes that have exactly one edge, the function returns NaN.
