I am drawing a sample of 3% from a network of 12 million vertices. From what I can tell the histogram and the average path length computed for it are identical between the two runs though. I would expect to see some degree of fluctuation at least if I am sampling different vertices in different runs or do you think this is an unreasonable assumption?

When providing a value for "samples" in "distance_histogram" are the samples drawn randomly? Thus, could I expect a different set of vertices being used if I supply the same graph with the same number of samples twice to compute my distance histogram?
Yes, of course. Best, Tiago -- Tiago de Paula Peixoto <tiago@skewed.de>
