Table 2 Comparison of different methods with respect to three topological metrics, namely, Rand Index (RI), Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) and Normalized Mutual Information (NMI) for the Yeast PPI network. 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, Louvain and Spinglass are most similar to each other
