overlap_weighted_projected_graph

overlap_weighted_projected_graph(B, nodes, jaccard=True)

Overlap weighted projection of B onto one of its node sets.

The overlap weighted projection is the projection of the bipartite network B onto the specified nodes with weights representing the Jaccard index between the neighborhoods of the two nodes in the original bipartite network [1]:

\[w_{v, u} = \frac{|N(u) \cap N(v)|}{|N(u) \cup N(v)|}\]

or if the parameter ‘jaccard’ is False, the fraction of common neighbors by minimum of both nodes degree in the original bipartite graph [1]:

\[w_{v, u} = \frac{|N(u) \cap N(v)|}{min(|N(u)|, |N(v)|)}\]

The nodes retain their attributes and are connected in the resulting graph if have an edge to a common node in the original bipartite graph.

Parameters

BNetworkX graph

The input graph should be bipartite.

nodeslist or iterable

Nodes to project onto (the “bottom” nodes).

jaccard: Bool (default=True)

Returns

GraphNetworkX graph

A graph that is the projection onto the given nodes.

Notes

No attempt is made to verify that the input graph B is bipartite. The graph and node properties are (shallow) copied to the projected graph.

See bipartite documentation for further details on how bipartite graphs are handled in NetworkX.
