Degree

[Hannah Love]

Hello, 

I'm writing up some results for an article and I wanted to make sure I had the correct description for "degree."  The page seems to be blank: https://visone.ethz.ch/wiki/index.php/Degree 

I'm curious about:

• Degree
• Degree (%) 
• Degree (std)

I would love any insights.  

Thank you, Hannah Love

Hi Hannah,

here some clarifications. Let's assume an indirected network with 15
nodes and 12 edges (links). Consider a node A with 3 links in this
network:

(1) degree = a node's absolute number of connections. In our example
d(A) = 3.

(2) degree (std) = a node's degree value divided by network size minus
one (1). In our example the degree (std) = 3 / (15-1) = 3 / 14 ~ 0.214.

(3) degree (%) = the share (%) of a node's links (=degree) of all links
in the graph. In aN indirected graph this is (d / 2L) * 100. In our
example this would be: (3 / 2*12) * 100 = (3 / 24) * 100 = 12.5.
