Lab #4: Calculating Mean Degree, Mean Closeness Centrality, Mean Betweenness Centrality #20

Closed jesscowart closed 6 months ago

jesscowart commented 7 months ago

When we calculate the mean degree, mean closeness centrality, and mean betweenness centrality, are we using the raw or standardized scores?

Also, are we calculating the mean degree:

mean.deg <- sum( deg.u.mat ) / dim( u.mat )[1] 

Or are we calculating the mean of the degree centrality scores:

mean.deg <- mean( deg.LGN )

Hi @jesscowart ! The raw score is fine. But feel free to report the standardized mean as well if you want.

Awesome, thanks! Sorry, to follow up...

Hi @jesscowart good question! It is the mean degree.

Thank you!
