Average degree calculation
Posted: 05 Apr 2013 17:48
Hi all,
I have a query about the average degree calculation in Gephi. I'm currently doing a Social and Economic Network Analysis course and we have been given a file as part of an assignment (data from the .net file below). When calculating the average degree I get 3.889, but according to the course staff the correct figure is 7.78. I've run this file both directed and undirected and both times I get 3.889. Looking at the data in the lab when the file is opened as a undirected graph, all nodes have a degree ranging from 6 to 10 and I'm failing to see how we can get an average degree of less than 4.
The course is recommending Pajek as the tool we should use. It seems Pajek users are getting 7.78.
Any help understanding this or direction on where I'm going wrong is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
