Table 3 Small-world Property Analysis includes the path length (L) and CLC of the six real-world networks are compared against those of random graphs having the same number of nodes and average degree per node40. The small-world phenomenon holds when \(L_{actual} \ge L_{random}\) and \({CLC}_{actural} \ge {CLC}_{random}\).
