Triplet Count
Count 3-node open paths (non-closed triangles)
Counts triplets - 3-node paths that are NOT closed into triangles.
What It Computes
Number of 3-node paths: A→B→C where A and C are NOT directly connected.
When to Use It
- Triangle potential: Triplets that could close into triangles
- Clustering coefficient: Used in calculation
- Network evolution: Track triplet→triangle transitions
Example
