Figure 3: Comparison of the SMD and LMM Algorithms for Module Selection
Panels A and B show a comparison of module size and modularity between SMD and LMM selected modules on the Great Lakes data at R thresholds ranging from 0.1 to 0.7 and gamma ranging from 0.15 and 0.9 for LMM. Panel A compares average module size and Panel B shows modularity across these parameters. In Panels C and D the homogeneity of LMM versus SMD selected module was calculated using simulated networks formed using both Power-Law (Panel C) and Regular (Panel D) degree distributions. Nodes are colored by the ɑ (exponent) parameter for power law degree distributions in Panel C and by p (probability of one node being connected to any other node) in regular degree distributions in Panel D. A homogeneity of 1 denotes that all SMD modules are sub-modules of the LMM modules, whereas a homogeneity of 0 denotes that no two nodes grouped into a SMD module were partitioned into the same module by LMM.
