Re: [igraph] closeness and average path length in terms of the harmonic distance between vertices

[Bob Pap]

instead of (1/sum(distances over i)) you do (sum(1/distances) over i minus the vertix of reference) (for which 1/d would be infinite).

Kind regards,

Bob

Hi Bob, 

What exactly is the harmonic distance between vertices? Sorry, I don't have Newman's book at hand....

Dear all,

closeness and average path length functions in igraph are not defined in terms of the harmonic distance between vertices (and no option exists in version 0.6). Any suggestion on how to implement within igraph this conceptually interesting and straight-forward modification (see for instance Newman's Network book on pages 184 and 185) would be very appreciated - essentially sums are slightly different and over vertices not including the reference one.

Kind regards,

Bob
