Kendall τ values of different algorithms. Among the ten τ values obtained by comparing the HCM’s calculation results with SIR, in Lastfm, Ca-Astroph, and EmailEU, nine of them are higher than those obtained by other algorithms; in Hamsterster and Dblp, eight of them are higher than other algorithms; in David and Ca-GrQc, seven of them are higher than other algorithms; and in Netscience and AS, five of them are higher than other algorithms. Generally speaking, the HCM has absolute advantages.
