In Table
3(a), importance of nodes was defined by degree centrality (DC). In Table
3(b), importance of nodes was defined by the Shannon-Parry centrality (SPC). Each column included the important nodes and the score information for a method. In this table, the top 9 (10%) nodes were chosen as the important nodes. If a method obtained a higher score, it was more consistent with all other methods. In Table
3(a), CF, MI, and MIC had the relatively higher score. Although MIC was ranked the third, its score was very close to CF which is ranked the first. In general, the network constructed by MIC had the relatively better consistency compared with other methods in terms of important nodes. In Table
3(b), MIC had the highest score. Thus, the network constructed by MIC had the highest consistency compared with other methods in terms of important nodes.
