# Cliques and a new measure of clustering: with application to U.S. domestic airlines

Abstract : We propose a natural generalization of the well-known clustering coefficient for triples $C(3)$ to any number of nodes. We give analytic formulae for the special cases of three, four, and five nodes and show, using data on U.S. airline networks, that they have very fast runtime performance. We discuss theoretical properties and limitations of the new measure, and use it to provide insight into changes in network structure over time.
