    Anyone can tell me why the Cluster plug-in return 1.33 as its max node value (with Depth parameter set to 1). I expected it to compte a metric with max 1.0 and min 0.0 matching the original definition by Watts and Strogatz.

    Got my answer. I went to see the source code. The plug-in actually computes the "strength" metric for edges as defined in a paper co-authored with D. Auber and others.

    I was mislead by the name the plug-in was given. I believe others might be mislead just as I was, expecting the plug-in to compute Watt and Strogatz's original clustering coefficient for nodes (and note edges).
