Note: for each of the six IPA networks (column), the -test values are shown by comparisons of the edge overlapping rate of distinct subgraphs and the IPA network between the group of distinct subgraphs with the same cancer type as the IPA network and each of the other groups of distinct subgraphs with different cancer types from the IPA network.
