this file contains functions/utilities for computing the network/graph-theoretic
properties of INTF and other networks represented as adjacency lists
:** clustering coefficient functions

FUNCTION GetCCR(adj,outvec,[startid,endid,subsamp]) gets the clustering coefficient on a range
         of cells
FUNCTION GetCC -- gets clustering coefficient
FUNCTION GetCCSubPop -- get the clustering coefficient between 'sub-populations' of vertices

:** path length related functions

FUNCTION GetPathR -- gets path length on a range of cells at a time
FUNCTION GetWPath -- gets weighted path length , which may be weighted by synaptic weights &
         delays
FUNCTION GetPairDist -- computes distances between all pairs of vertices, self->self distance==
           distance of shortest loop
FUNCTION GetPathSubPop -- computes path lengths between sub-populations
FUNCTION GetLoopLength -- computes distance to loop back to each node
FUNCTION GetPathEV -- gets path length
FUNCTION CountNeighborsR -- counts the # of neighbors/outputs of a specified degree on a range
         of cells

:** miscellaneous functions
FUNCTION GetRecurCount -- counts # of recurrent connections
FUNCTION Factorial -- computes factorial, if input is too large uses approximation
FUNCTION perm - count # of permutations from set of N elements with R selections
