% Compute average path length for a network - the average shortest path % Note: works for directed/undirected networks % % INPUTS: adjacency (or weights/distances) matrix, nxn % OUTPUTS: average path length % % Other routines used: simpleDijkstra.m % GB: Oct 8, 2012 function l = avePathLength(adj) n=size(adj,1); dij = []; for i=1:n; dij=[dij; simpleDijkstra(adj,i) ]; end l = sum(sum(dij))/(n^2-n); % sum and average across everything but the diagonal
