# msmtools.estimation.connected_cmatrix¶

msmtools.estimation.connected_cmatrix(C, directed=True, lcc=None)

Compute the count matrix on the largest connected set.

Parameters: C (scipy.sparse matrix) – Count matrix specifying edge weights. directed (bool, optional) – Whether to compute connected components for a directed or undirected graph. Default is True lcc ((M,) ndarray, optional) – The largest connected set C_cc – Count matrix of largest completely connected set of vertices (states) scipy.sparse matrix

Notes

Viewing the count matrix as the adjacency matrix of a (directed) graph the larest connected submatrix is the adjacency matrix of the largest connected set of the corresponding graph. The largest connected submatrix can be efficiently computed using Tarjan’s algorithm.
