transitivity

transitivity(G)[source]

Compute graph transitivity, the fraction of all possible triangles present in G.

Possible triangles are identified by the number of “triads” (two edges with a shared vertex).

The transitivity is

T = 3\frac{\#triangles}{\#triads}.

Parameters:G (graph) –
Returns:out – Transitivity
Return type:float

Examples

>>> G = nx.complete_graph(5)
>>> print(nx.transitivity(G))
