[docs]def rich_club_coefficient(G, normalized=True, Q=100):
    """Return the rich-club coefficient of the graph G.

    The rich-club coefficient is the ratio, for every degree k, of the
    number of actual to the number of potential edges for nodes 
    with degree greater than k: 

    .. math::

        \\phi(k) = \\frac{2 Ek}{Nk(Nk-1)}

    where Nk is the number of nodes with degree larger than k, and Ek
    be the number of edges among those nodes.

    Parameters
    ----------
    G : NetworkX graph 
    normalized : bool (optional)
       Normalize using randomized network (see [1]_)
    Q : float (optional, default=100)
       If normalized=True build a random network by performing 
       Q*M double-edge swaps, where M is the number of edges in G,
       to use as a null-model for normalization.

    Returns
    -------       
    rc : dictionary 
       A dictionary, keyed by degree, with rich club coefficient values.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> G = nx.Graph([(0,1),(0,2),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(4,5)])
    >>> rc = nx.rich_club_coefficient(G,normalized=False)
    >>> rc[0] # doctest: +SKIP 
    0.4

    Notes
    ------
    The rich club definition and algorithm are found in [1]_.  This
    algorithm ignores any edge weights and is not defined for directed
    graphs or graphs with parallel edges or self loops.

    Estimates for appropriate values of Q are found in [2]_.
