How to find the power law exponent of a given graph?

[Dushyant]

I want to go reverse now. I have a power law graph. How do I find its
exponent from its degree sequence using networkx?

There aren't any tools for estimating power-law distribution parameters
in NetworkX. You can easily get the degree sequence (G.degree() where
G is a NetworkX graph) but you'll need to use some other software or
implement your own estimator. This is a good paper that explains carefully
how you might do it yourself:
