Say you have a graph with 4 vertices, I would know that it can have a maximum of $\begin{pmatrix}4\\2\end{pmatrix} = 6$ edges. What I'm not sure about how to find is how many ways you can connect the vertices if the graph has no loops, and is non-isomorphic.

After manually finding the ways to create these graphs, I observed the following:

# of edges # of graphs
0 1
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 2
5 1
6 1

There must be a way to predict this with permutations/combinations, but I'm just not sure how to change the question into a way that I can calculate it.
