GlobalClusteringCoefficient
GlobalClusteringCoefficient[g]
gives the global clustering coefficient of the graph g.
GlobalClusteringCoefficient[{vw,…}]
uses rules vw to specify the graph g.
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.
