networkx.algorithms.bipartite.generators.preferential_attachment_graph

preferential_attachment_graph(aseq, p, create_using=None, seed=None)

Create a bipartite graph with a preferential attachment model from a given single degree sequence.

Parameters:

• aseq (list) – Degree sequence for node set A.
• p (float) – Probability that a new bottom node is added.
• create_using (NetworkX graph instance, optional) – Return graph of this type.
• seed (integer, random_state, or None (default)) – Indicator of random number generation state. See Randomness.
