correlation coefficient for node degree distribution

Question

[imaparna27]

Hi,

I am trying to calculate correlation coefficient for node degree distribution in Cytoscape v3.8.2. For the obtained node table for my network, I have used "degree" column as x axis for fitting a power-law. However, I don't understand from node table, which column should be y axis in order to get value of R.

The columns in my node table (undirected network) are:

AverageShortestPathLength BetweennessCentrality ClosenessCentrality ClusteringCoefficient Degree Eccentricity EdgeCount Indegree NeighborhoodConnectivity NumberOFDirectedEdges OutDegree PartnerOfMultiEdgeNodePairs Radiality Selfloops TopologicalCoefficient degree.layout NumChildren NumDescendents

What should be the column for y-axis?

Thank you.

To plot degree distribution, you want the x-axis to be the degree and the y-axis to be the number of nodes with that degree..
