- raphtory.graph_gen.ba_preferential_attachment(g, vertices_to_add, edges_per_step)
Generates a graph using the preferential attachment model.
Given a graph this function will add a user defined number of vertices, each with a user defined number of edges. This is an iterative algorithm where at each step a vertex is added and its neighbours are chosen from the pool of nodes already within the network. For this model the neighbours are chosen proportionally based upon their degree, favouring nodes with higher degree (more connections). This sampling is conducted without replacement.
Note: If the provided graph doesnt have enough nodes/edges for the initial sample, the min number of both will be added before generation begins.
- Parameters
g – The graph you wish to add vertices and edges to
vertices_to_add – The amount of vertices you wish to add to the graph (steps)
edges_per_step – The amount of edges a joining vertex should add to the graph
Returns:
None

Generates a graph using the random attachment model
This function is a graph generation model based upon: Callaway, Duncan S., et al. “Are randomly grown graphs really random?.” Physical Review E 64.4 (2001): 041902.
- Parameters
g – The graph you wish to add vertices and edges to
vertices_to_add – The amount of vertices you wish to add to the graph (steps)
edges_per_step – The amount of edges a joining vertex should add to the graph
- Returns
None
