p-Values are shown, based on fitting a random effects model to the network measures (degree, normalized characteristic path length, efficiency, normalized clustering coefficient and normalized small-world) applied on the k-core (k=18) to test for diagnostic group differences between controls and AD subjects in the whole brain, left hemisphere, and then separately in the right hemisphere (with controls coded as 0 and AD subjects coded as 1). We covaried for age and sex and used acquisition site as a random regression variable.
