Network Properties
1. Global Network Properties (Chapter 3 of the course textbook “Analysis of
Biological Networks” by Junker and Schreiber)
They give an overall view of a network:1) Degree distribution2) Clustering coefficient and spectrum3) Average diameter
1) Degree Distribution
G
Research debates…
• Degree correlation:– Pearson corr. coefficient between degrees of adjacent vertices– Average neighbor degree; then average over all nodes of
degree k• Structural robustness and attack tolerance:
– “Robust, yet fragile”• Scale-free degree distribution:
– Party vs. date hubs• J.D. Han et al., Nature, 430:88-93, 2004
– Bias in the data construction (sampling)?• M. Stumpf et al., PNAS, 102:4221-4224, 2005• J. Han et al., Nature Biotechnology, 23:839-844, 2005
• High degree nodes:– Essential genes
• H. Jeong at al., Nature 411, 2001. – Disease/cancer genes
• Jonsson and Bates, Bioinformatics, 22(18), 2006• Goh et al., PNAS, 104(21), 2007
• Cv – Clustering coefficient of node vCA= 1/1 = 1CB = 1/3 = 0.33CC = 0 CD = 2/10 = 0.2 …
• C = Avg. clust. coefficient of the whole network = avg {Cv over all nodes v of G}
• C(k) – Avg. clust. coefficient of all nodesof degree kE.g.: C(2) = (CA + CC)/2 = (1+0)/2 = 0.5
=> Clustering spectrum
E.g. (not for G)
2) Clustering Coefficient and Spectrum
G
Need to evaluate whether the value of C (or any other property) is statistically significant.
3) Average Diameter
G
u
v
E.g.(not for G)
• Distance between a pair of nodes u and v:
Du,v = min {length of all paths between u and v} = min {3,4,3,2} = 2 = dist(u,v)
• Average diameter of the whole network:
D = avg {Du,v for all pairs of nodes {u,v} in G}
• Spectrum of the shortest path lengths
Network Properties
• Global network properties might not be detailed enough to capture complex topological characteristics of large networks
Network Properties
2. Local Network Properties(Chapter 5 of the course textbook “Analysis of Biological Networks” by Junker and Schreiber)
• They encompass larger number of constraints, thus reducing degrees of freedom in which networks being compared can vary
• How do we show that two networks are different?
• How do we show that they are the same?• How do we quantify the level of their similarity?

2.1) Relative Graphlet Frequency Distance between 2 networks
2.2) Graphlet Degree Distribution Agreement between 2 networks
• Small subgraphs that are overrepresented in a network when compared to randomized networks
• Network motifs:– Reflect the underlying evolutionary processes that generated the network– Carry functional information– Define superfamilies of networks
- Zi is statistical significance of subgraph i, SPi is a vector of numbers in 0-1
• But:– Functionally important but not statistically significant patterns could be missed– The choice of the appropriate null model is crucial, especially across “families”
1) Network motifs (Uri Alon’s group, ’02-’04)

the best network null model

Network properties
3. Network/node centralities
• Different centrality measures exist• Centrality values comparable inside a given
network only• Centrality values of two centrality measures
incomparable even within the same network• Some centrality measures can be applied to
connected networks only
3) Network/node centralities
• Degree centrality• Closeness centrality• Eccentricity centrality• Betweenness centrality
• Other centrality measures exist, e.g.:– Eigenvector centrality– Subgraph centrality– …
• Software tools: Visone (social nets) and CentiBiN (biological nets)
3) Network/node centralities
• Degree centrality:– Nodes with high degrees have high centrality
Cd(v)=deg(v)
• Closeness centrality:– Nodes with short paths to all other nodes have
high centrality
3) Network/node centralities
• Essentricity centrality:– Nodes with short paths to any other node have
high centrality
• Betweenness centrality:– Nodes (or edges) that occur in many of the
shortest paths have high centrality
