Calculate dispersion between \(u\) and \(v\) in \(G\).
A link between two actors (\(u\) and \(v\)) has a high dispersion when their mutual ties (\(s\) and \(t\)) are not well connected with each other.
Parameters: | G : graph
u : node, optional
v : node, optional
normalized : bool
|
---|---|
Returns: | nodes : dictionary
|
Notes
This implementation follows Lars Backstrom and Jon Kleinberg [R184]. Typical usage would be to run dispersion on the ego network \(G_u\) if \(u\) were specified. Running dispersion() with neither \(u\) nor \(v\) specified can take some time to complete.
