Average degree cannot be switched to directed / undirected

[seinecle]

To create the bug:
- in the statistics panel, select "average degree".
- in the window, select "directed" or "undirected" graph. Run the stat.
- now, reselect the "average degree" stat => bug: no window opens, the algorithm is run with the possibility to change the choice (undirected to directed graph, or the reverse).

- Note: other stat functions do not suffer from this bug (see, eg, "Av. Path Length"), so it should be possible to copy their behavior to "average degree".

[Sébastien Heymann (sebastien.heymann)]

It is normal because the average in-degree is equal to the average out-degree, so each of these value can be derived directly by dividing the degree by 2

avg in-degree = avg out-degree = degree / 2

What is weird is that you shouldn't have a window to let you choose...and I can't reproduce this bug.

Do you use Gephi 0.7beta or 0.8alpha?

[seinecle (clement-levallois)]

Gephi 0.8 alpha.

Is someone else able to reproduce it?

[soverign (brycecr)]

Seems to me like the graph density always calculates the undirected version, even if the graph is directed. That seems wrong.

[Mathieu Bastian (mathieu.bastian)]

That is really weird Clement, as the settings window should not appear in 0.8 anymore.

soverign -> It works fine for me, please open another bug with steps to reproduce the issue

Hey guys!

Thanks for a great software.

I just tried analysing the Facebook-like online social network (http://toreopsahl.com/datasets/#online_social_network; weighted by number of characters; UCINET/dl-format) in alpha-0.8. The network has 1899 nodes with 20,296 directed ties among them. The average degree in this network should be 20296/1899=10.688; however, it is reported as 21.375 (i.e., 10.688*2). It seems the switch between undirected and directed networks is not working as this would be corrected number if the network was undirected.

Best,
Tore

Thanks for notice. Fixed on rev 2360.
