[docs]@not_implemented_for("undirected", "multigraph") def reciprocity(G, nodes=None): r"""Compute the reciprocity in a directed graph. The reciprocity of a directed graph is defined as the ratio of the number of edges pointing in both directions to the total number of edges in the graph. Formally, $r = |{(u,v) \in G|(v,u) \in G}| / |{(u,v) \in G}|$. The reciprocity of a single node u is defined similarly, it is the ratio of the number of edges in both directions to the total number of edges attached to node u. Parameters ---------- G : graph A networkx directed graph nodes : container of nodes, optional (default=whole graph) Compute reciprocity for nodes in this container. Returns ------- out : dictionary Reciprocity keyed by node label. Notes ----- The reciprocity is not defined for isolated nodes. In such cases this function will return None.
