*ORA Metrics Defined
| *ORA Metric | Definition |
|---|---|
| Clustering Coefficient (Clust. .Coef.) | Extent to which there are small clusters (cliques). |
| Component Count Strong (Comp. Ct. .Strong) | Number of strongly connected components in a network |
| Component Count Weak | Number of weakly connected components in a network |
| Density | Ratio of actual connections between individuals to possible connections for a network. |
| Diffusion | How fast information travels through the network. |
| Hierarchy | Degree to which the network has a purely hierarchical structure. |
| Isolates | Number of nodes (individuals) that have no connections or links. |
| Network Centralization In Degree (Cent. In.) | Number of connections coming into individual nodes |
| Network Centralization Out Degree (Cent. Out) | Number of connections out of individual nodes (if higher, more individual connections) |
| Betweenness Centrality (Between) | Number of times that connections must pass through a single individual to be connected, (i.e., which person is the most central to the network as a whole). |
| Eigenvector Centrality (Eigenvector) | Measure of node connections to highly connected people |
| Simmelian Ties (Simmelian) | Number of strong ties embedded in cliques |
