INTERPRETATION.

From table 1, the node “A” and “C” are the most accessible because it has the least as the

least value of associated number.

Moreover, while nodes “A”, “B” and “C” have the same associated number, the shimbel

index of nodes “A” and “C” are superior than that of node “B”. Thus, from the table 1, nodes

“A” and “B” are the best connected and are the most accessible because they have the least

value of shimbel index within the network.
