s_metric

s_metric(G, normalized=True)[source]

Returns the s-metric of graph.

The s-metric is defined as the sum of the products deg(u)*deg(v) for every edge (u,v) in G. If norm is provided construct the s-max graph and compute it’s s_metric, and return the normalized s value

Parameters
Ggraph

The graph used to compute the s-metric.

normalizedbool (optional)

Normalize the value.

Returns
sfloat

The s-metric of the graph.
