node_redundancy
(G, nodes=None)[source]¶ Computes the node redundancy coefficients for the nodes in the bipartite graph
G
.The redundancy coefficient of a node
v
is the fraction of pairs of neighbors ofv
that are both linked to other nodes. In a one-mode projection these nodes would be linked together even ifv
were not there.More formally, for any vertex
v
, the redundancy coefficient of `v` is defined by\[rc(v) = \frac{|\{\{u, w\} \subseteq N(v), \: \exists v' \neq v,\: (v',u) \in E\: \mathrm{and}\: (v',w) \in E\}|}{ \frac{|N(v)|(|N(v)|-1)}{2}},\]where
N(v)
is the set of neighbors ofv
inG
.Parameters: - G (graph) – A bipartite graph
- nodes (list or iterable (optional)) – Compute redundancy for these nodes. The default is all nodes in G.
Returns: redundancy – A dictionary keyed by node with the node redundancy value.
Return type: dictionary
Examples
Compute the redundancy coefficient of each node in a graph:
>>> import networkx as nx >>> from networkx.algorithms import bipartite >>> G = nx.cycle_graph(4) >>> rc = bipartite.node_redundancy(G) >>> rc[0] 1.0
Compute the average redundancy for the graph:
>>> import networkx as nx >>> from networkx.algorithms import bipartite >>> G = nx.cycle_graph(4) >>> rc = bipartite.node_redundancy(G) >>> sum(rc.values()) / len(G) 1.0
Compute the average redundancy for a set of nodes:
>>> import networkx as nx >>> from networkx.algorithms import bipartite >>> G = nx.cycle_graph(4) >>> rc = bipartite.node_redundancy(G) >>> nodes = [0, 2] >>> sum(rc[n] for n in nodes) / len(nodes) 1.0
Raises: NetworkXError
– If any of the nodes in the graph (or innodes
, if specified) has (out-)degree less than two (which would result in division by zero, according to the definition of the redundancy coefficient).References
