摘要翻译：
本文首先回顾了复杂网络拓扑结构的几种层次度量方法，然后应用特征选择的概念和方法，对四种典型的理论网络模型，即ERD{o}S-R\'Enyi,Barab\'asi-Albert,Watts-Strogatz以及一种地理类型的网络之间的区分度，量化每种度量方法的相对重要性。所得结果证实，利用测量组合可以很好地分离四个模型。另外，将每个被考虑的特征在二维标准投影中的权重量化为模型整体判别的相对贡献，其中传统聚类系数、层次聚类系数和邻域聚类系数得到了特别有效的结果。有趣的是，平均最短路径长度和层次节点度对四种网络模型的分离贡献很小。

英文摘要：
  This work reviews several hierarchical measurements of the topology of complex networks and then applies feature selection concepts and methods in order to quantify the relative importance of each measurement with respect to the discrimination between four representative theoretical network models, namely Erd\"{o}s-R\'enyi, Barab\'asi-Albert, Watts-Strogatz as well as a geographical type of network. The obtained results confirmed that the four models can be well-separated by using a combination of measurements. In addition, the relative contribution of each considered feature for the overall discrimination of the models was quantified in terms of the respective weights in the canonical projection into two dimensions, with the traditional clustering coefficient, hierarchical clustering coefficient and neighborhood clustering coefficient resulting particularly effective. Interestingly, the average shortest path length and hierarchical node degrees contributed little for the separation of the four network models.
