Everything about Network entropy

Measure of connection disorder in a network

In network science, the network entropy is a disorder measure derived from information theory to describe the level of randomness and the amount of information encoded in a graph. It is a relevant metric to quantitatively characterize real complex networks and can also be used to quantify network complexity Wikipedia →
