Quantitative Comparisons of Bacterial Networks for the Slow Walkers (1st Quartile of 400 m Walking Speed at Visit 4 (Q1 ≤ 0.899 m/s; n = 184) and Fast Walkers (Q4 ≥ 1.159 m/s; n = 185) by Jaccard index (j), Using the NetCoMi R Package
| Centrality measures | Jacc (j) | p (J ≤ j) | p (J ≥ j) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Degree | 0.700 | .997 | .020* |
| Betweenness centrality | 0.462 | .896 | .241 |
| Closeness centrality | 0.667 | .996 | .019* |
| Eigenvector centrality | 0.667 | .996 | .019* |
| Hub taxa | 0.500 | .889 | .556 |
Note: (j) index shows similarity between sets of most central nodes and hubs between the 2 networks. P (J ≤ j) is the probability that j index takes a value less than or equal to the calculated index j for the present total number of genera in both sets. p (J ≥ j) is analogous, that is, j is greater than expected at random. To account for multiple testing, we applied the Benjamini–Hochberg method for adjustment. *Indicates significance at p < 0.05.
