er_B - Sample a random graph from the Erdos-Renyi model B
er_B N p [fileout]
er_B samples a random graph from the Erdos-Renyi model B, i.e. a
graph with N nodes where each of the <N(N-1)/2> edges is created
independently with probability p. The program dumps the edge list of
the resulting graph on output. If the optional fileout is provided,
the output is written on a file with that name.
Number of nodes in the final graph.
Edge probability.
The (optional) name of the filename where the edge list of the graph will be saved.
The following command:
$ er_B 1000 0.006
samples an undirected random network with N=1000 nodes where each
possible edge is created with probability p=0.006. The output of
the command er_B will be the edge-list of the resulting graph, where
each (undirected) edge is reported only once. In order to be useful,
such edge-list should be saved into a file. The following command:
$ er_B 1000 0.006 > er_B_1000_0.006.net
will save the resulting graph in the file er_B_1000_0.006.net. Notice the usage of the symbol ">" to redirect the output of the program to a file.
