RE: Comparing graph metrics across toolboxes
Hi Roger,

That seems strange, I did a quick test just to double-check and I am seeing exactly the same global/local efficiency values when using CONN's conn_network_efficiency.m compared to BCT's efficiency_bin.m functions. Could you please give me more details about how exactly you are performing this comparison to see if that helps me figure out the source of this discrepancy?

Thanks
Alfonso

Hi all,

I've been running graph analysis in CONN but would also like to compare results across other toolboxes (e.g., Brain Connectivity). I transformed the z matrices to r, thresholded them at cost (k = .15), and removed NaN values and negative correlations. However, the global efficiency values are noticeably smaller in the Brain Connectivity package compared to CONN. I'm fairly positive that the same equations are used across toolboxes, so I'm not sure why the results would be different. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Roger
