Re: [igraph] average.path.length

[Gábor Csárdi]

>From http://igraph.sourceforge.net/doc/R/shortest.paths.html :

average.path.length(graph, directed=TRUE, unconnected=TRUE)

unconnected      What to do if the graph is unconnected (not strongly
connected if directed paths are considered). If TRUE only the lengths
of the existing paths are considered and averaged; if FALSE the length
of the missing paths are counted having length vcount(graph), one
longer than the longest possible geodesic in the network.
