Common Procedures
- Degree (when directed, in-degree and out-degree)
This is a numerical node variable. It is the number of edges connected to a particular node. Gephi calculates degree automatically.
- Diameter
This is a property of the whole network, not a single node or edge. It is the number of links between the two nodes in the network that are the farthest apart.
- Betweenness Centrality
This is a numerical node variable. It is a measure of how often a node appears on shortest paths between nodes in the network.
- Closeness Centrality
This is a numerical node variable. It is the average distance from a given node to all other nodes in the network.
- Eccentricity
This is a numerical node variable. It is the distance from a given node to the farthest node from it in the network.
- Density
This is a property of the whole network. It is the ratio between the number of edges and the total number of possible edges between the nodes.
- Clustering/Modularity
Measures how well a network decomposes into modular communities. This algorithm will calculate an overall modularity score for the network, as well as assign each node to a separate cluster that will appear as a variable suitable for partion coloring.
