Note: The values for Mean Estimate, SE, Bias, and Relative Bias are calculated over 30 independent samples, where each sample yields one estimate of the network measure. Estimates, SE, and bias values are 10−5

a

The Standard Error is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

b

Bias=E(estimates)−True Value

c

Relative Bias= |Bias/True Value|
