Comparing mention and retweet graph

By looking at the ratio of in degree to out degree, we can learn something slightly different about each network. In the case of a retweet network, it will show us users who are often retweeted but don't retweet (high values), or those who often retweet but aren't retweeted (low values). Similarly, if you have a in/out ratio of close to 1 in a mention graph, then the conversation is relatively equitable. However, a low ratio would imply that a given user often starts conversations but they aren't responded to. When you compare the density plots of the different networks, consider what you'd expect. Which network do you expect to be more skewed and which do you expect to have a ratio closer to 1?
