triadic_census

triadic_census(G)

Determines the triadic census of a directed graph.

The triadic census is a count of how many of the 16 possible types of triads are present in a directed graph.

Parameters:G (digraph) – A NetworkX DiGraph Returns:census – Dictionary with triad names as keys and number of occurrences as values. Return type:dict

Notes

This algorithm has complexity \(O(m)\) where \(m\) is the number of edges in the graph.
