Python :How to generate a power law graph

Question

I have installed networkx and matplotlib packages. How can I generate a power law graph based on degree correlation i.e. graphs with high or low degree of homophily

Answer 1

Have you looked at the examples on the Networkx site? This example might help you get started with this.

There are also a number of functions within Networkx which generate random graphs which will probably be helpful. Have a look for the random_powerlaw_tree(....) function detailed in the graph generators section of the documentation.

Answer 2

networkx.generators.barabasi_albert_graph will generate a graph according to the Barabasi-Albert model, which will have a power-law degree distribution.
