Get the mean distance

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.

Usage

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
