def latapy_clustering(G, nodes=None, mode="dot"):
r"""Compute a bipartite clustering coefficient for nodes.
The bipartite clustering coefficient is a measure of local density
of connections defined as [1]_:
.. math::
c_u = \frac{\sum_{v \in N(N(u))} c_{uv} }{|N(N(u))|}
where `N(N(u))` are the second order neighbors of `u` in `G` excluding `u`,
and `c_{uv}` is the pairwise clustering coefficient between nodes
`u` and `v`.
The mode selects the function for `c_{uv}` which can be:
`dot`:
.. math::
c_{uv}=\frac{|N(u)\cap N(v)|}{|N(u) \cup N(v)|}
`min`:
.. math::
c_{uv}=\frac{|N(u)\cap N(v)|}{min(|N(u)|,|N(v)|)}
`max`:
.. math::
c_{uv}=\frac{|N(u)\cap N(v)|}{max(|N(u)|,|N(v)|)}
Parameters
----------
G : graph
A bipartite graph
nodes : list or iterable (optional)
Compute bipartite clustering for these nodes. The default
is all nodes in G.
mode : string
The pairwise bipartite clustering method to be used in the computation.
It must be "dot", "max", or "min".
Returns
-------
clustering : dictionary
A dictionary keyed by node with the clustering coefficient value.
Examples
--------
>>> from networkx.algorithms import bipartite
>>> G = nx.path_graph(4) # path graphs are bipartite
>>> c = bipartite.clustering(G)
>>> c[0]
0.5
>>> c = bipartite.clustering(G, mode="min")
>>> c[0]
1.0

def average_clustering(G, nodes=None, mode="dot"):
r"""Compute the average bipartite clustering coefficient.
A clustering coefficient for the whole graph is the average,
.. math::
C = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{v \in G} c_v,
where `n` is the number of nodes in `G`.
Similar measures for the two bipartite sets can be defined [1]_
.. math::
C_X = \frac{1}{|X|}\sum_{v \in X} c_v,
where `X` is a bipartite set of `G`.
Parameters
----------
G : graph
a bipartite graph
nodes : list or iterable, optional
A container of nodes to use in computing the average.
The nodes should be either the entire graph (the default) or one of the
bipartite sets.
mode : string
The pairwise bipartite clustering method.
It must be "dot", "max", or "min"
Returns
-------
clustering : float
The average bipartite clustering for the given set of nodes or the
entire graph if no nodes are specified.
Examples
--------
>>> from networkx.algorithms import bipartite
>>> G = nx.star_graph(3) # star graphs are bipartite
>>> bipartite.average_clustering(G)
0.75
>>> X, Y = bipartite.sets(G)
>>> bipartite.average_clustering(G, X)
0.0
>>> bipartite.average_clustering(G, Y)
1.0

Notes
-----
The container of nodes passed to this function must contain all of the nodes
in one of the bipartite sets ("top" or "bottom") in order to compute
the correct average bipartite clustering coefficients.
See :mod:`bipartite documentation <networkx.algorithms.bipartite>`
for further details on how bipartite graphs are handled in NetworkX.
