Characterizing the network (II)

Let's continue recalling what you've learned before about node importances, by plotting the degree distribution of a network. This is the distribution of node degrees computed across all nodes in a network.

Exercise instructions

  • Plot the degree distribution of the GitHub collaboration network G. Recall that there are four steps involved here:
    • Calculating the degree centrality of G.
    • Using the .values() method of G and converting it into a list.
    • Passing the list of degree distributions to plt.hist().
    • Displaying the histogram with plt.show().
