attribute_assortativity_coefficient
(G, attribute, nodes=None)[source]¶ Compute assortativity for node attributes.
Assortativity measures the similarity of connections in the graph with respect to the given attribute.
Parameters: G : NetworkX graph
attribute : string
Node attribute key
nodes: list or iterable (optional)
Compute attribute assortativity for nodes in container. The default is all nodes.
Returns: r: float
Assortativity of graph for given attribute
Notes
This computes Eq. (2) in Ref. [R148] , trace(M)-sum(M))/(1-sum(M), where M is the joint probability distribution (mixing matrix) of the specified attribute.
