MST metrics summary

MST Metrics	Description
Degree	The number of neighbors for a given node
Kappa	The measure of the broadness of the degree distribution
BC	Fractions of all shortest paths that pass through a given node
Diameter	The largest distance between any two nodes
Ecc	The largest distance between a given node and any other node
LF	Fraction of nodes with a degree of 1
Th	A hierarchical metric quantifying the trade-off between large-scale integration in the MST and the overload of central nodes

Abbreviations: BC = Betweenness Centrality, Ecc = Eccentricity, LF = Leaf Fraction, Th = Tree Hierarchy
