clusteringCoef {RBGL} | R Documentation

## Calculate clustering coefficient for an undirected graph

### Description

Calculate clustering coefficient for an undirected graph

### Usage

    clusteringCoef(g, Weighted=FALSE, vW=degree(g))

### Arguments

`g` | an instance of the `graph` class
`Weighted` | calculate weighted clustering coefficient or not
`vW` | vertex weights to use when calculating weighted clustering coefficient

### Details

For an undirected graph `G`, let delta(v) be the number of triangles with `v` as a node, let tau(v) be the number of triples, i.e., paths of length 2 with `v` as the center node.

Let V' be the set of nodes with degree at least 2.

Define clustering coefficient for `v`, c(v) = (delta(v) / tau(v)).

Define clustering coefficient for `G`, C(G) = sum(c(v)) / |V'|, for all `v` in V'.

Define weighted clustering coefficient for `g`, Cw(G) = sum(w(v) * c(v)) / sum(w(v)), for all `v` in V'.

### Value

Clustering coefficient for graph `G`.
