Network coefficients used for NPH vs. non-NPH comparison. All coefficients included a weighted and a binary version, except for the network density.
Network coefficients | Brief description |
---|---|
Density | Fraction of present connections to possible connections |
Clustering coeff. average | Fraction of triangles (node’s neighbors that are also neighbors of each other) around a node (vertex connected to other vertices) |
Transitivity | Ratio of triangles to triplets (three nodes that are connected by either two or three ties) in the network |
Network characteristic path length | Average shortest path length in the network |
Small-worldness | Average path length of the network divided by the average path length of a random network with the same node and edge (connection between two nodes) count as the network being analyzed |
Global efficiency | Average efficiency (1/distance) between all sets of nodes |
Diameter of graph | Maximum eccentricity (maximal shortest path length between a node and any other node) |
Radius of graph | Minimum eccentricity |
Assortativity coefficient | Correlation of the degree (number of overall connections) of connected nodes |
Rich club, | Fraction of edges that connect nodes of degree or higher out of the maximum number of edges that such nodes might share |
