Table 2 The table provides the results for the correlation analysis of the topological network measures with the behavioural test and for the related statistical test

  1. For each topological measure, both the Pearson and the Spearman correlation computed with the Von Frey test are reported. For each of the two correlations, the p-value of the statistical test is shown for highlighting the significance of the correlation. The p-values suffixes G and DP refer respectively to the first (Gaussian white noise) and second (distribution-preserving) null-models. The first two columns are intended to summarize the results: “Max correlation” reports the best among the two correlations between Pearson and Spearman, whereas “Max p-value” indicates, for that correlation, the maximum between the two p-values obtained with the two null-models (in order to be more conservative). The significant p-values in this column, considering a confidence level of 0.05, are highlighted in bold
