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

a

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

b

Bias=E(estimates)−True Value

c

Relative Bias= |Bias/True Value|
