N is the total number of nodes, E is the total number of edges, \(\langle k \rangle\) is the average degree, \(\sigma ^2\) is the variance of the degree, \(k_\textit{max}\) is the maximum degree, CC is the cluster coefficient, APL is the average path length, \(\rho\) is the assortativity mixing, Diam is the diameter and M is the modularity
