Table 2 Node dependencies and network dependency in small networks

From: Ego-zones: non-symmetric dependencies reveal network groups with large and dense overlaps

Network	OwDep		OwIndep		TwDep		TwIndep		NetDep
	Max	Avg	Max	Avg	Max	Avg	Max	Avg
karate	4	1.647	13	1.647	1	0.176	6	1.118	0.756
lesmis	9	1.909	21	1.909	6	1.065	15	1.714	0.740
netscience	8	1.599	27	1.599	4	0.755	10	0.871	0.819

The average values of OwDep and OwIndep are the same because they are only opposite views of the IsDependent property. As can be seen, the Net Science network has stronger internal dependencies because its nodes have a lower average number of neighbors with which they are mutually independent
