networkx.algorithms.community.quality.performance

performance(G, partition)

Returns the performance of a partition.

The performance of a partition is the ratio of the number of intra-community edges plus inter-community non-edges with the total number of potential edges.

Parameters

• G (NetworkX graph) – A simple graph (directed or undirected).

• partition (sequence) – Partition of the nodes of G, represented as a sequence of sets of nodes. Each block of the partition represents a community.

Returns

The performance of the partition, as defined above.

Return type

float

Raises

NetworkXError – If partition is not a valid partition of the nodes of G.
