Mean heat-degrees (degrees above 18°C) was much lower (0.2°C), and varied only from 0°C to 0.6°C.
Apical vertebral rotation (Pedriolle method) ranged between 5 and 30 degrees mean of 17 degrees), angle of trunk inclination using a scoliometer ranged 5 to 17 degrees (mean of 10 degrees) and Risser sign 0 to 3 (All Risser 3 patients had Cobb angles greater than 35 degrees).
Based on this sampling distribution, estimators for the mean degree, the degree correlation, and the clustering coefficient are proposed.
By extension, the average node degree is the mean degree of all nodes.
Also we used mean degree distribution instead of degree distribution to investigate congestion/interference of network when approximate method is used.
Using the same parameter k, we also calculated the number of overlapped nodes in 1000 matched random networks that preserve the same number of nodes, mean degree, and degree distribution as the brain network [47].
More specifically, a random sample of individuals from a social network will have a mean degree of μ (the mean degree for the population); but the friends of these random individuals will have a mean degree of μ plus a quantity defined by the variance of the degree distribution divided by μ.
This study also shows that cellular proteins targeted by multiple viruses present a distribution shift toward highly connected and central position within the cellular network as compared to proteins targeted by only one viral protein (mean degree = 57 versus mean degree = 29, one-tailed Wilcoxon test; P-value < 2.2 × 0-16).
By comparing the mean degrees of nondisease-associated lncRNAs and disease-associated lncRNAs, we found that the mean degree of disease-associated lncRNAs (mean degree 12.31) is lower than nondisease-associated lncRNAs (mean degree 15.5).
A similar shift in the distribution was observed at the taxonomic level for viral species (mean degree 62 versus 28), family (mean degree 66 versus 29) and Baltimore's group (mean degree 68 versus 30), confirming previous observations [ 14].
