Description of graph analysis metrics.

Global Metric Description
 Network density Fraction of all possible connections above the connection threshold
 Mean connection strength Average connection strength of connections above the connection threshold
 Clustering Coefficient Extent of node clustering; a measure of how often the neighbors of a node are also neighbors of each other
 Path Length Lowest number of connections required to travel between each node pair in the network
 Modularity score Ability of the network to be segregated into discrete modules
Nodal Metric Description
 Node strength Sum of the strength of connections to all other nodes in the network
 Closeness centrality Nearness to all other nodes in the network
 Betweenness centrality Frequency at which the node lies on the shortest path between two other nodes
 Within-module degree Z-score Connectedness of a node within its own module
 Participation coefficient Connectedness of a node to nodes in other modules
