partial_duplication_graph#
- partial_duplication_graph(N, n, p, q, seed=None)[source]#
Returns a random graph using the partial duplication model.
- Parameters:
- Nint
The total number of nodes in the final graph.
- nint
The number of nodes in the initial clique.
- pfloat
The probability of joining each neighbor of a node to the duplicate node. Must be a number in the between zero and one, inclusive.
- qfloat
The probability of joining the source node to the duplicate node. Must be a number in the between zero and one, inclusive.
- seedinteger, random_state, or None (default)
Indicator of random number generation state. See Randomness.
Notes
A graph of nodes is grown by creating a fully connected graph of size
n
. The following procedure is then repeated until a total ofN
nodes have been reached.A random node, u, is picked and a new node, v, is created.
For each neighbor of u an edge from the neighbor to v is created with probability
p
.An edge from u to v is created with probability
q
.
This algorithm appears in [1].
This implementation allows the possibility of generating disconnected graphs.
