Finding k-cores and Clustering Coefficient Computation with NetworkX

Assume you have a large network and you want to find k-cores of each node and also you want to compute clustering coefficient for each one. Python package NetworkX comes with very nice methods for you to easily do these. k-core is a maximal subgraph whose nodes are at least k degree [1]. To find k-cores: Add all edges you have in your network in a NetworkX graph, and use core_number method that gets graph as the single input and returns node – k-core pairs.
