Recurrence of motif represents it occurs with high frequency. We allow overlapping of motifs.
Significance of a motif means it is more frequent than expected. The key idea here is we say subgraphs that occur in a real network much more often than in a random network have functional significance. Significance can be measured using Z-score which is defined as: \begin{equation} Z_{i} = \frac{N_{i}^{real} - \overline N_{i}^{rand}}{std(N_{i}^{rand})} \end{equation} <br>
Significance of a motif means it is more frequent than expected. The key idea here is we say subgraphs that occur in a real network much more often than in a random network have functional significance. Significance can be measured using Z-score which is defined as:
where $$N_{i}^{real}$$ is #(subgraphs of type i) in network $$G^{real}$$ and $$N_{i}^{rand}$$ is #(subgraphs of type i) in randomized network $$G^{rand}$$.
Network significance profile (SP) is defined as: \begin{equation} SP_{i} = \frac{Z_{i}}{\sqrt{\sum_{j} {Z_j^{2}}}} \end{equation} where SP is a vector of normalized Z-scores.
