pub fn edge_degree_pearson(graph: &Graph) -> IgraphResult<f64>Expand description
Compute the Pearson correlation of endpoint degrees across edges.
The standard Pearson r between the two degree sequences formed by
edge endpoints. Related to but not identical to degree_assortativity
(Newman’s definition uses a different normalization).
Returns 0.0 for the empty graph or when variance is zero (regular graphs). Self-loops are skipped.
§Examples
use rust_igraph::{Graph, edge_degree_pearson};
// K_3: all (2,2) → Var=0 → r=0.0
let g = Graph::from_edges(&[(0,1),(1,2),(0,2)], false, Some(3)).unwrap();
assert!(edge_degree_pearson(&g).unwrap().abs() < 1e-10);
