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

Applied Network Science

Table 3 Zone properties in small networks

Network	Zones	Zone size		Inner-zone size		Outer-zone size		Trivial	Dyad	Triad	Multi ego	Embed.
		Max	Avg	Max	Avg	Max	Avg
karate	31	16	5.129	15	3.065	4	2.065	1	1	14	3	0.384

In all networks, relatively large zones were detected considering the total number of network nodes and the average zone size. The Net Science network has a higher quality of zones measured by the embeddedness value; this means that nodes in zones are more strongly connected inside than outside the zone
