Get the mean distance of a graph, which is the average path length in the graph. This operates through calculation of the shortest paths between all pairs of nodes..

get_mean_distance(graph)

Arguments

graph

a graph object of class dgr_graph.

Value

a single numeric value representing the mean distance of the graph.

Examples

# Create a cycle graph graph <- create_graph() %>% add_cycle(n = 5) # Determine the mean distance graph %>% get_mean_distance()
#> [1] 2.5
# Create a full graph and then # get the mean distance value create_graph() %>% add_full_graph(n = 10) %>% get_mean_distance()
#> [1] 1
