R: Degree and degree distribution of the vertices

degree {igraph} | R Documentation

## 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.

    degree(g)
    g2 <- sample_gnp(1000, 10/1000)
