38(a)(b)(c)(d)Figure 3.5: Citation Graph with 1025 Nodes: Shortest Paths metric with thresholdvalues (a)1404, (b)4212, (c)28828, (d)48828.Overall <strong>the</strong> metric does not fit very well into our definition <strong>of</strong> an effective metric.The weight distribution tends to be heavily biased to <strong>the</strong> lower end <strong>of</strong> what is typicallya very large range <strong>of</strong> weight values. Such a large range <strong>of</strong> weight values actually givestoo much granularity between each distinct threshold value in <strong>the</strong> higher weightednodes.The removal <strong>of</strong> one or two nodes rarely makes any distinguishable visibledifference in <strong>the</strong> graphs.This metric could be m<strong>ad</strong>e more effective by scaling ornormalizing <strong>the</strong> generated weight values. Doing this should even out <strong>the</strong> distribution<strong>and</strong> contract <strong>the</strong> overly large range <strong>of</strong> weight values.
