NAME

mcx_clcf - compute the clustering coefficient of a graph

SYNOPSIS

mcx clcf [options] [matrix-file]

mcxclcf is not in actual fact a program. This manual page documents the behaviour and options of the mcx program when invoked in mode clcf . The options -h , --apropos , --version , -set , --nop , -progress <num> are accessible in all mcx modes. They are described in the mcx manual page.

mcx clcf [-abc <fname> ( specify label input ) ] [-imx <fname> ( specify matrix input ) ] [-tab <fname> ( use tab file ) ] [-o <fname> ( write to this file ) ] [-t <int> ( use <int> threads ) ] [-J <intJ> ( a total of <intJ> jobs are used ) ] [-j <intj> ( this job has index <intj> ) ] [--summary ( return mean clustering coefficient ) ] [-h ( print synopsis, exit ) ] [--apropos ( print synopsis, exit ) ] [--version ( print version, exit ) ]

DESCRIPTION

mcx clcf computes the clustering coefficient of a graph.

The input graph/matrix, if specified with the -imx option, has to be in mcl matrix/graph format. You can use label input instead by using the -abc option. Refer to mcxio(5) for a description of these two input formats. By default mcx diameter reads from STDIN and expects matrix format . To specify label input from STDIN use -abc - .

OPTIONS

-abc <fname> ( label input )
The file name for input that is in label format.

-imx <fname> ( input matrix )
The file name for input. STDIN is assumed if not specified.

-o <fname> ( output file )
The file name for output. STDOUT is the default output stream.

-tab <fname> ( use tab file )
This option causes the output to be printed with the labels found in the tab file. With -abc this option will, additionally, construct a graph only on the labels found in the tab file. If this option is used in conjunction with -imx the tab domain and the matrix domain are required to be identical.

--summary ( return mean clustering coefficient )
By the default a 1-column table (with row names included) is output, one row for each node. This option causes the output of the average clustering coefficient only.

-t <int> ( use <int> threads )
-J
<intJ> ( a total of <intJ> jobs are used )
-j
<intj> ( this job has index <intj> )
Computing clustering coefficients is time-intensive for large graphs. If you have multiple CPUs available consider using as many threads. Additionally it is possible to spread the computation over multiple jobs/machines. These three options are described in the clmprotocols manual page. The following set of options, if given to as many commands, defines three jobs, each running four threads.

-t 4 -J 3 -j 0 -o out.0
-t 4 -J 3 -j 1 -o out.1
-t 4 -J 3 -j 2 -o out.2

The output can then be collected with

mcx collect --add-column -o out.all out.[0-2]
