Fig 3. Minimum path length and the clustering coefficient.
We estimate the average of the minimum path length and the clustering coefficient for threshold values rc. The topological network structure is obtained by the condition aij = 1 if |wij| > rc for each matrix data. Then the average is taken for whole datasets, 986 functional connectome datasets [9, 15]. A The Average of the minimum path length. For Lij the minimum path length between i and j nodes, we estimate the average with all pairs of nodes in each graph. For unconnected node pairs, which have no connected path, Lij are substituted by the total number of nodes. B The clustering coefficient. The clustering coefficient measures the probability that the adjacent vertices of a vertex are connected. C Changes of the clustering coefficient. We show the changes of the clustering coefficient along the threshold with ΔC = C(i) − C(i + 1), where i indicates the value at rc = 0.1 × i threshold.
