Clustering Plots in Network Analysis

WenruiZhao

Hi JASP team,

I'm a new user of JASP and network analysis. Now I'm trying to perfrom network analysis in JASP, and have several problems when I'm trying to interpret my results:

1. Where can I find the help file about the network analysis in JASP 0.16? I have read the blog website about network analysis and all network-related discussion here. One discussion mentioned that the "i" icon, but I didn't find any i icon in the new version. Maybe I missed some key infos in JASP.
2. Is there any papers or documents explaing about the clustering plot? What do Barrat/ Onnela/WS/Zhang mean?
3. How can I adjust the size oftthe figures in h network plots As shown in below, the legends of the network plot were not fully printed, and it seems no corresponding option to adjust in JASP 0.16.?

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer.

1. That's strange, the "i" icon does work for me. You could post the issue on our GitHub page -- I am not sure whether this is a problem for other people as well.
2. This should be in the help file -- I'll forward this to our Network expert. Note that most of the functionality is based on the R packages by Sacha Epskamp, so the options will be explained there for sure.
3. Somehow the plot did not show in your post (I am having trouble pasting figures as well, will ask Sebastiaan what's up). Anyway, you can usually drag the plot to increase it; maybe for these plots we also offer an "edit image" option -- click on the small black triangle associated with the plot and you should see that option. If it is not available for this plot it will tell you.

Cheers,

Hi Wenrui Zhao,

Regarding the clustering measures: There are different ways to estimate clustering coefficients (quantifying the degree to which nodes cluster together) in your network model. In JASP we report four of them. For details on how these are computed I would refer to the literature:

• Barrat clustering coefficient: Barrat et al. (2014)
• Onnela clustering coefficient: Onnela's et al. (2005)
• Zhang clustering coefficient: Zhang & Horvath's (2005)
• WS clustering coefficient : Watts & Strogatz (1998); Constantini & Perugini (2014)

Best,

Jill
