Table 10 Comparison of different methods with respect to three topological metrics, namely, RI, ARI and NMI for the Human PPI network (20,644 nodes and 241,008 edges). When a method is compared with itself, RI, ARI and NMI are 1 (diagonal elements). Larger (smaller) the value of RI, ARI and NMI, the more (less) similar are the two methods being compared. For example, Combo and Spinglass are most similar to each other, Louvain being the next most similar to them. Overall, Combo, Louvain and Spinglass provide similar results
