Mutual Information Better Quantifies Brain Network Architecture in Children with Epilepsy

Table 1

Metrics of the network architecture.

Metric	Description
Clustering coefficient	The fraction of the nodes of a given neighbor that are also neighbors of each other reflects segregation/subspecialization in the network
Modularity	The degree to which nodes tend to segregate into relatively independent modules reflects segregation/subspecialization within the network
Path length	The minimum number of edges required to traverse the distance between 2 nodes averaged over the network reflects the ease of information transfer across the network
Global efficiency	Inverse of the mean characteristic path length averaged over the network reflects integration in the network
