temporal_efficiency

temporal_efficiency(tnet=None, paths=None, calc='overtime')[source]

Returns temporal efficiency estimate. BU networks only.

Parameters:

  • paths. (Input should be either tnet or)

  • data (array or dict) – Temporal network input (graphlet or contact). nettype: ‘bu’, ‘bd’.

  • paths (pandas dataframe) – Output of TenetoBIDS.networkmeasure.shortest_temporal_paths

  • calc (str) –

    Options: ‘overtime’ (default) - measure averages over time and nodes; ‘node’ or ‘node_from’ average over nodes (i) and time. Giving average efficiency for i to j; ‘node_to’ measure average over nodes j and time;

    Giving average efficiency using paths to j from i;

Returns:

E – Global temporal efficiency

Return type:
