Figure 6. Average clustering.

Only active nodes, i.e. nodes that are part of at least one dyad contribute to the average, the rest are disregarded. Average clustering is calculated according to the definition in [48]. Since social activity in groups larger than two individuals results in network triangles, the fact that clustering is not significantly reduced by thresholding (compared to the null model) provides evidence that we are preserving social structure in spite of link removal.
