Table 1 The five network generating mechanisms we considered.

From: Empirically classifying network mechanisms

  1. For each, the Parameter Studied is the what the classifier systematically varies in its search for a version of each proposed mechanism that best describes the network being classified. Though we only considered one parameter per mechanism, some mechanisms have more than one governing parameter (e.g. SW’s neighborhood size), which likely means our estimates of mechanism identifiability are conservative. For canoncial references see ER13, DD14, NM15, PA7, and SW16. Our approach is not limited to these five mechanisms. Note that the color behind each mechanism’s name is the color used to refer to that mechanism throughout the paper.
