overlap_weighted_projected_graph

overlap_weighted_projected_graph(B, nodes, jaccard=True)

Overlap weighted projection of B onto one of its node sets.

The overlap weighted projection is the projection of the bipartite network B onto the specified nodes with weights representing the Jaccard index between the neighborhoods of the two nodes in the original bipartite network [R124]:

or if the parameter ‘jaccard’ is False, the fraction of common neighbors by minimum of both nodes degree in the original bipartite graph [R124]:

The nodes retain their attributes and are connected in the resulting graph if have an edge to a common node in the original bipartite graph.

Parameters :

B : NetworkX graph

The input graph should be bipartite.

nodes : list or iterable

Nodes to project onto (the “bottom” nodes).

jaccard: Bool (default=True) :

Returns :

Graph : NetworkX graph

A graph that is the projection onto the given nodes.

Notes

No attempt is made to verify that the input graph B is bipartite. The graph and node properties are (shallow) copied to the projected graph.

>>> from networkx.algorithms import bipartite
>>> B = nx.path_graph(5)
>>> G = bipartite.overlap_weighted_projected_graph(B, [0, 2, 4])
>>> print(G.nodes())
[0, 2, 4]
>>> print(G.edges(data=True))

>>> G = bipartite.overlap_weighted_projected_graph(B, [0, 2, 4], jaccard=False)
