Fig. 2: Comparisons on synthetic temporal networks.

a Temporal dissimilarity between synthetic networks generated by the activity driven model with node activity following the uniform distribution and different m. b Temporal dissimilarity TD between synthetic networks generated by the activity driven model with node activity following the power-law distribution and different r. Here, we set m = 3. Temporal dissimilarity TD between networks generated by the uniform activity distribution and those generated by a power-law activity distribution as a function of r when m is set as 3 and 5 for (c, d), respectively. Different curves indicate we choose different combinations of ω₁ and ω₂ for the calculation of temporal dissimilarity values. Here, each dissimilarity value in every sub-figure is the averaged over 100 realizations. The network size and time scale are set as N = 300, T = 30,000, respectively.
