Note: The regression uses the beta slopes from each line as the dependent variable. The direction of the bias is ignored when calculating the regressions. The betas represent the expected increase in bias for a 10% increase in the amount of missing data. Larger numbers mean larger bias with more missing data. The correlation with centrality takes four values: −.75, −.25, .25, and .75.
