resource_allocation_index#

resource_allocation_index(G, ebunch=None)[source]#

Compute the resource allocation index of all node pairs in ebunch.

Resource allocation index of u and v is defined as

\[\sum_{w \in \Gamma(u) \cap \Gamma(v)} \frac{1}{|\Gamma(w)|}\]

where \(\Gamma(u)\) denotes the set of neighbors of \(u\).

Parameters:

Ggraph: A NetworkX undirected graph.
ebunchiterable of node pairs, optional (default = None): Resource allocation index will be computed for each pair of nodes given in the iterable. The pairs must be given as 2-tuples (u, v) where u and v are nodes in the graph. If ebunch is None then all nonexistent edges in the graph will be used. Default value: None.

Returns:

piteriterator: An iterator of 3-tuples in the form (u, v, p) where (u, v) is a pair of nodes and p is their resource allocation index.

Raises:

NetworkXNotImplemented: If G is a DiGraph, a Multigraph or a MultiDiGraph.
NodeNotFound: If ebunch has a node that is not in G.

Examples

>>> G = nx.complete_graph(5)
>>> preds = nx.resource_allocation_index(G, [(0, 1), (2, 3)])
>>> for u, v, p in preds:
...     print(f"({u}, {v}) -> {p:.8f}")
(0, 1) -> 0.75000000
(2, 3) -> 0.75000000
