Interface EdgeMetric

All Known Implementing Classes:
UnitEdgeMetric, WeightedEdgeMetric

public interface EdgeMetric

This interface provides a unified way of dealing with the weight of an edge. The only method, getWeight, is supposed to compute and return the weight of the edge. Most statistics use this function call to compute different metrics related to the network. One may set the weight of all edges to 1 in order to compute distances between nodes in terms of the number of edges that need to be traversed. Alternatively, using real weights for the edges results in algorithms computing real distances between the nodes.


Method Summary
