networkx.algorithms.triads.triadic_census

triadic_census(G)

Determines the triadic census of a directed graph.

The triadic census is a count of how many of the 16 possible types of triads are present in a directed graph.

Parameters

G (digraph) – A NetworkX DiGraph

Returns

census – Dictionary with triad type as keys and number of occurrences as values.

Return type

dict

Notes

This algorithm has complexity $O(m)$ where $m$ is the number of edges in the graph.
