Arguments
Function computing a score for each edge which is necessary to apply a "disparity filter" as described in the following paper:
Serrano, M. Ángeles, Marián Boguná, and Alessandro Vespignani. "Extracting the multiscale backbone of complex weighted networks." Proceedings of the national academy of sciences 106.16 (2009): 6483-6488.
Note that this metric requires a weighted graph or will return a useless result.
Beware, the results must be interpreted thusly: a lower score means a more relevant edge, as is intuited in the paper's formulae. This means you can prune edges that have a score greater than a given threshold, as a statistical test. Some other implementations might differ in that they offer the opposite intuition (i.e. greater score = more relevant edge).

// To compute strength for every edge:
const disparities = disparity(graph);
// To directly map the result onto edge attributes (`disparity`):
disparity.assign(graph);

Edge uniformity is the normalized standard deviation of edge length of the graph. Lower values should be synonym of better layout according to this particular metric.
Runs in O(E).

edgeUniformity(graph);
>>> ~1.132
Computes the "neighborhood preservation" layout quality metric from the given graph having x and y positions attached to its nodes. Neighborhood preservation is the average proportion of node neighborhood being the same both in the graph's topology and its 2d layout space. The metric is therefore comprised between 0 and 1, 1 being the best, meaning that every node keeps its neighborhood perfectly intact within the layout space.
Runs in approximately O(N * log(N)).
import neighborhoodPreservation from 'graphology-metrics/layout-quality/neighborhood-preservation';
neighborhoodPreservation(graph);
// >>> 0.456
Computes the "stress" layout quality metric from the given graph having x and y positions attached to its nodes. Stress is the sum of normalized delta between node topology distances and their layout space distances. Lower values should be synonym of better layout according to this particular metric.
Note that this metric does not work very well when the graph has multiple connected components.
Note also that this metric traverses any given graph as an undirected one.
Runs in O(N^2).
import stress from 'graphology-metrics/layout-quality/stress';
stress(graph);
// >>> ~24510.2914
