Note: The regression uses the betas slopes from each line as the dependent variable. The betas represent the expected drop in correlation (between the empirical and the observed) 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.
