Degree and degree distribution of the vertices

Description

The degree of a vertex is its most basic structural property, the number of its adjacent edges.

Usage

degree(
  graph,
  v = V(graph),
  mode = c("all", "out", "in", "total"),
  loops = TRUE,
  normalized = FALSE
)

degree_distribution(graph, cumulative = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

graph	The graph to analyze.
v	The ids of vertices of which the degree will be calculated.
mode	Character string, “out” for out-degree, “in” for in-degree or “total” for the sum of the two. For undirected graphs this argument is ignored. “all” is a synonym of “total”.
loops	Logical; whether the loop edges are also counted.
normalized	Logical scalar, whether to normalize the degree. If TRUE then the result is divided by n-1, where n is the number of vertices in the graph.
cumulative	Logical; whether the cumulative degree distribution is to be calculated.
...	Additional arguments to pass to degree, eg. mode is useful but also v and loops make sense.

Value

For degree a numeric vector of the same length as argument v.

For degree_distribution a numeric vector of the same length as the maximum degree plus one. The first element is the relative frequency zero degree vertices, the second vertices with degree one, etc.
