Network Analyzer in Cytoscape

Hi,

Anyone who has used Cytoscape might be familiar with the Network Analyzer tool in Cytoscape which is used to calculate the degree distribution of the network. I did the same, plot the degree distribution and fit a power law y = ax(squared b) where b is the slope. Cytoscape gives the R-squared and correlation values of the network. By my understanding, The correlation coefficient (R) is squared to obtain the coefficient of determination (R-squared). However, none of my networks have the R-squared value as a square of the correlation value. For example, this is the correlation and R-squared values of three of my networks.

R-squared Correlation

0.684 0.963

0.532 0.942

0.621 0.949

Am I getting this wrong and does correlation mean something different and not correlation coefficient (R) in Cytoscape?

If you're fitting a power law, the coefficient of determination is most likely calculated on log(data). This is probably mentioned somewhere in the docs.
EDIT: Found it mentioned in the docs here.

Hi Jean, just to clarify, the correlation refers to the correlation coefficient right? It just says correlation and I am confused as to if that stands for something else.

Hello....It supports now three different protocol encryptions: 0.75 (very first SimpleModulus), Season 0 - 6(E1), Season 6E3 (v1.04d gmo). - Load/Save of your recorded sessions - Simple packet sender - Improved network stack with reduced memory allocations and increased speed (uses byte Spans and System.IO.Pipelines) - Minor fixes/improvements
