Fig. 5: Assortativity coefficient, local clustering coefficient, and shortest path length for the restored evolution processes.
From: Reconstructing the evolution history of networked complex systems
The assortativity coefficient for a PPI network (Bacteria), b World Trade Web (WTW), and c Animal network (Weaver). The average local clustering coefficient for d PPI network (Bacteria), e WTW, and f Animal network (Weaver). The average shortest path length for g PPI network (Bacteria), h World Trade Web (WTW), and i Animal network (Weaver). The yellow triangles represent results computed at the real snapshots of the networks. The blue solid lines and red dashed lines are results based on edge generation order by our restoring method and by random assignment, respectively. The pink dashed lines are results for networks generated assuming the pure PA rule. Note that due to the presence of disconnected components during the evolution process of a network, the computation of the average shortest path length only involves pairs of nodes that can be connected.
