Abstract : Novel Definition for Weighted Clustering Coefficient
We address the interesting problem of generalizing a graph's clustering coefficient to the case where the links
have weights. Several definitions have been proposed before; but, to our knowledge, all of them are based on
the "average over local node value" approach, which gives often quite distinct results from the "triangle-based"
approach. Here we present a new, "triangle-based" definition (CCW) for weighted clustering coefficient. Our
definition is a straightforward generalization of the triangle-based one for the binary case; but it has the
interesting property that it varies between 0 and infinity (rather than between 0 and 1). We will offer some
explanation and illustrative examples for the two extreme cases (CCW ==> 0 and CCW ==> infinity). Also, we will
present some results for small test graphs (a few hundred nodes), including graphs formed by using the similarity
between documents as the link strength.
