Document Summary
Component: a part of the network (subgraph) in which every node is con- nected to every other note directly or indirectly. The entire network is connected as a whole, directly and indirectly. *density is the number of ties in the network density of 1 means everyone is connect to everyone. * isolates are nodes not connected to anything. Cluster means there are bits of the graph more denser than other parts of the graph. Distance between any two nodes, in terms of nodes between the two points. Diameter, is the farthest geodesic path in a network. Tendency for similar nodes to be more likely to be connected than non- similar nodes. No homophily means node characteristics have no effect on prob- ability of tie. 2 nodes connected to a common third node are more likely to know one another than 2 nodes that are not connected to a common third node.
