Gephi forums

Hello,

I have a question about Degree Power Law Notation in Gephi.

In many studies,the degree distribution that contains degree(connectives) and probability (of degree of k),

but in Gephi ,

that seems not totally like this.


The occurrence from 0.0 to 1.7 in my case,

more than 100% ,

and the degree is not like the distribution of the graph,

from 0 to 0.7,

but degree (connectives not 0.7)

so my question is that what the vertical bar and horizontal bar means?

Thank you

Hi,,

The degree power law has heen removed on the latest version (0.8alpha) due to many problems, one of them is because it is not precise enough to decide if there is a good fit or not.

Are there any plans to bring this metric back?

Not for the moment.

Is there any other way to do this in Gephi?

No, you should better use the tools provided by Clauset, Shalizi et Newman:
