RE: Inconsistent results
Hi Lorna,

There is no right or wrong threshold. Some details about the choice of threshold are provided in the manual.

A t-threshold of 3.5-4 is quite conservative. If you have consistent findings within this range, I suggest that you stick with it.

If you lower the threshold to 2 and the sub-network disappears, this simply means that the sub-network extent or intensity does not exceed the null.

Hi Andrew,

My topic is related to this previous discussion in the forum. Everything works perfectly fine for my study but I just want to understand more.
I wonder why when I decreased the initial T threshold (initially was set up between 3.5-4, giving me beautiful and very consistent results, from a bigger subnetwork including more edges to a more resume subnetwork comprising only the stronger connected edges). Now I decreased the T threshold to 2.5 and the subnetwork previously obtained completely disappears, setting the component size for extend or intensity. Why?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Lorna.
