spacenet.global_metrics.mean_clustering_coefficient(spatial_network, edge_weight_name='Distance')

Computes the mean cluster coefficient of a spatial network, which is the average of the clustering coefficients of all nodes in the graph. The clustering coefficient of a node is a measure of how connected its neighbors are to each other, and the mean cluster coefficient provides an overall measure of the tendency of nodes in the graph to cluster together.

Parameters:

spatial_networkNetworkX graph

The spatial network for which to compute the mean cluster coefficient.

edge_weight_namestr, optional

The name of the edge attribute to use as the weight for computing the cluster coefficient. Default is ‘Distance’.

Returns:

mean_clustering_coefficientfloat

The mean cluster coefficient of the spatial network, which is the average of the clustering coefficients of all nodes in the graph.
