Weighted edges in R/igraph - r

Question

I'm using R & the igraph package to plot a graph written in graphml and I want to use the weight parameter included in this syntax
<edge id="e389" source="w4" target="w0">
<data key="d1">0.166666666667</data>
</edge>
I can get the values with
weight = E(f)$weight // f is the graph
but I don't know how to use weight before calculating the df = degree(f)
For further information: all nodes are connected to each other and the weight is 1 / (number_of_nodes - 1) so the degree for each node should be 1.

Answer 1

Most likely you are not looking for the degree() because this does not care about the edge weights. Are you probably looking for the graph.strength() function?
# create fully connected graph
g <- graph.full(10)
# assign weights such that every weight is 1/number_of_nodes -1
E(g)$weight <- 1/( length( V(g) ) -1 )
# calculate the "weighted degree"
graph.strength(g)
[1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Alternatively, are you maybe looking for the normalized degree?
degree( g, normalized = TRUE )
[1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
