adamic_adar_index

Compute the Adamic-Adar index of all node pairs in ebunch.

Adamic-Adar index of \(u\) and \(v\) is defined as

\[\sum_{w \in \Gamma(u) \cap \Gamma(v)} \frac{1}{\log |\Gamma(w)|}\]

where \(\Gamma(u)\) denotes the set of neighbors of \(u\).

Parameters:
  • G (graph) – NetworkX undirected graph.
  • ebunch (iterable of node pairs, optional (default = None)) – Adamic-Adar index will be computed for each pair of nodes given in the iterable. The pairs must be given as 2-tuples (u, v) where u and v are nodes in the graph. If ebunch is None then all non-existent edges in the graph will be used. Default value: None.
Returns:

piter – An iterator of 3-tuples in the form (u, v, p) where (u, v) is a pair of nodes and p is their Adamic-Adar index.
Return type:

iterator

Examples

>>> import networkx as nx
>>> G = nx.complete_graph(5)
>>> preds = nx.adamic_adar_index(G, [(0, 1), (2, 3)])
>>> for u, v, p in preds:
...     '(%d, %d) -> %.8f' % (u, v, p)
...
'(0, 1) -> 2.16404256'
'(2, 3) -> 2.16404256'
