Transitivity

This measure is sometimes called clustering coefficient.

Usage

trans_coef(
  A,
  method = c("weakcensus", "global", "mean", "local"),
  select = c("all", "in", "out")
)

Arguments

A

A matrix

method

Whether to calculate the weakcensus, global transitivity ratio, the mean transitivity or the local transitivity.

select

Whether to consider all, in or out ties for the local transitivity.

Value

Return a transitivity measure
