clusteringcoefficiënt
Clusteringcoefficiënt is the Dutch variant of the clustering coefficient, a concept in graph theory and network science that measures the tendency of nodes to form tightly connected groups. The idea is to assess how close a node’s neighbors are to forming a clique. In practice, the term is often used interchangeably with coëfficiënt van clustering in Dutch literature, and with clustering coefficient in English texts. It applies primarily to undirected graphs, though weighted and directed versions exist.
Local clustering coefficient: For a node v with degree k_v, and e_v edges among its neighbors, the
Global clustering coefficient: The transitivity of a graph is defined as C = (3 times the number
Variants and interpretation: For weighted networks, weighted clustering coefficients incorporate edge weights to reflect tie strength,
