popular random network models

random

Generates a random network where a link between two nodes exists with probability p.

  • node count: the number of nodes
  • probability: probability p
  • directed: select to generate directed network

This random network model is usually referred to as G(n,p) model.


preferential

Generates a random network with preferred connections. A new node connects more likely to a existing node with high degree. Generated networks may contain multi-links and self-loops.

  • node count: the number of nodes
  • outdegree: the number of edges a new node creates
  • directed: select to generate directed network

This random network model is usually referred to as scale free model.


small world

Generates a random network with neighborhood radius r and probability of edge rewiring p.

  • node count: the number of nodes
  • probability: probability p
  • radius: neighborhood radius r

This random network model is usually referred to as small world model.


models peculiar to graph drawing

planar

Generates a planar graph by randomly distributing points in the plane and applying a Delaunay triangulation.

  • node count: the number of nodes
