Table 3 Convergence criteria during the simulations. The columns \(c_{edges}\) and \(c_{beliefs}\) provide the threshold values used as convergence criteria for the summed link weights and community belief homogeneity respectively. d is the absolute difference from the previous 1000 data points and p is the mean of the previous 1000 data points as a normalization factor. \(c_{count}\) is the number of consecutive convergence checks required to end the simulation.
