From: Initial growth rates of malware epidemics fail to predict their reach
Mean susceptibility of the infected individuals for the SIR simulation run for (A) scale-free distribution of susceptibility with \(\alpha =2.5\) and \(\alpha =1.5\). Dashed line represents mean population susceptibility and (B) The average degree of infected individuals in a scale-free network with homogenous susceptibility and power-law degree distribution, with \(\alpha =2.5\). The network was created using the configuration model. (C) shows the ratio of the susceptibility of newly infected machines for each malware as it spreads, to the susceptibility of the machines infected by the same malware, with their infection times shuffled. This plot shows the average ratio over all malwares that reach 85% of their final spread in the first 72 h.
