latapy_clustering(G, nodes=None, mode='dot')[source]¶

Compute a bipartite clustering coefficient for nodes.

The bipartie clustering coefficient is a measure of local density of connections defined as [1]:

$c_u = \frac{\sum_{v \in N(N(v))} c_{uv} }{|N(N(u))|}$

where N(N(u)) are the second order neighbors of u in G excluding u, and c_{uv} is the pairwise clustering coefficient between nodes u and v.

The mode selects the function for c_{uv} which can be:

dot:

$c_{uv}=\frac{|N(u)\cap N(v)|}{|N(u) \cup N(v)|}$

min:

$c_{uv}=\frac{|N(u)\cap N(v)|}{min(|N(u)|,|N(v)|)}$

max:

$c_{uv}=\frac{|N(u)\cap N(v)|}{max(|N(u)|,|N(v)|)}$

Parameters:	G (graph) – A bipartite graph nodes (list or iterable (optional)) – Compute bipartite clustering for these nodes. The default is all nodes in G. mode (string) – The pariwise bipartite clustering method to be used in the computation. It must be “dot”, “max”, or “min”.
Returns:	clustering – A dictionary keyed by node with the clustering coefficient value.
Return type:	dictionary

Examples

>>>>>> from networkx.algorithms import bipartite
>>> G = nx.path_graph(4) # path graphs are bipartite
>>> c = bipartite.clustering(G)
>>> c[0]
0.5
>>> c = bipartite.clustering(G,mode='min')
>>> c[0]
1.0
