GlobalClusteringCoefficient
Details

- GlobalClusteringCoefficient is also known as clustering coefficient.
- GlobalClusteringCoefficient is typically used to quantify the level of transitivity in a graph.
- The global clustering coefficient of g is the fraction of paths of length two in g that are closed over all paths of length two in g.
- GlobalClusteringCoefficient works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, and multigraphs.
