Package org.jgrapht.alg.linkprediction

Class SaltonIndexLinkPrediction<V,​E>

java.lang.Object
org.jgrapht.alg.linkprediction.SaltonIndexLinkPrediction<V,​E>
Type Parameters:
V - the graph vertex type
E - the graph edge type
All Implemented Interfaces:
LinkPredictionAlgorithm<V,​E>
public class SaltonIndexLinkPrediction<V,​E>
extends java.lang.Object
implements LinkPredictionAlgorithm<V,​E>
Predict links using the Salton Index, also called the cosine similarity.

This is a local method which computes $s_{xy} = \frac{|\Gamma(u)\cap\Gamma(v))|}{\sqrt{k(u) \times k(v)}}$ where for a node $v$, $\Gamma(v)$ denotes the set of neighbors of $v$ and $k(v) = |\Gamma(v)|$ denotes the degree of $v$.

      predict in interface LinkPredictionAlgorithm<V,​E>
      Parameters:
      u - first vertex
      v - second vertex
      Returns:
      a prediction score
