[docs]def dispersion(G, u=None, v=None, normalized=True, alpha=1.0, b=0.0, c=0.0): r"""Calculate dispersion between `u` and `v` in `G`. A link between two actors (`u` and `v`) has a high dispersion when their mutual ties (`s` and `t`) are not well connected with each other. Parameters ---------- G : graph A NetworkX graph. u : node, optional The source for the dispersion score (e.g. ego node of the network). v : node, optional The target of the dispersion score if specified. normalized : bool If True (default) normalize by the embededness of the nodes (u and v). Returns ------- nodes : dictionary If u (v) is specified, returns a dictionary of nodes with dispersion score for all "target" ("source") nodes. If neither u nor v is specified, returns a dictionary of dictionaries for all nodes 'u' in the graph with a dispersion score for each node 'v'. Notes ----- This implementation follows Lars Backstrom and Jon Kleinberg [1]_. Typical usage would be to run dispersion on the ego network $G_u$ if $u$ were specified. Running :func:`dispersion` with neither $u$ nor $v$ specified can take some time to complete. References ---------- ..
