· mean characteristic path length
calculated as the average length of the shortest path between two nodes, denotes the level of integration in a given network and is inversely related to the global efficiency of information transfer.
· mean local efficiency
measures global efficiency on the neighbourhood sub-graphs, related to the clustering coefficient.
· clustering coefficient
measures the likelihood of a given node's neighbours to be also connected to each other.
(measures local neighborhood connectivity, calculated as the fraction of a node's neighbors that are neighbors of each other.)
mean local efficiency and clustering coefficient allude to the level of integration/segregation in a network, and howefficient the communication is at the local level.
· betweenness centrality
a measure of node degree(number of connections) and indicates the relative importance of each node calculated as the ratio of shortest paths in the network that passes through a node.
(measures node centrality, calculated as the fraction of all shortest paths in the network that contain a given node.)
· degree
measures the connectivity of each node, calculated as the sum of number/weight of links connected to each node.
