Statistics of the communication networks among pro-ED and pro-recovery communities.

Total number of nodes (N); number of edges (E); average degree per node (〈k〉); average shortest path length of connected node pairs (L); number of weakly connected components (#Comp.); ratio of nodes in the giant connected component (GCR); reciprocity measuring the likelihood of nodes with mutual links (R); global clustering coefficient (or transitivity) measuring the probability that two neighbours of a node are connected (C); assortativity coefficient of degree measuring the preference for nodes to link to others with similar degree values (A). Degree assortativity measured here are the correlations between source out-degree and destination in-degree [43], and zX denotes the z-score of a property X observed in an empirical network compared to those observed in null models, i.e., randomized networks by preserving the degrees of the empirical network [45].
