- spacenet.global_metrics.beta_index(spatial_network)#
The beta index is the ratio of edges to nodes in a spatial network. It is a measure of the connectivity of the network, with higher values indicating a more connected network.
- Parameters:
- spatial_networkNetworkX graph
The spatial network for which to calculate the beta index.
- Returns:
- beta_indexfloat
The beta index of the spatial network.
