Beyond ranking nodes: Predicting epidemic outbreak sizes by network centralities
Fig 7
How predictive is a single node centrality?.
The coefficient of determination R2 when Ω(β) is estimated over graphs of N nodes. The centralities appear in decreasing order of the minimum R2 across β values at N = 10: 0.69 for closeness, 0.65 for degree, 0.54 for coreness, but only 0.12 for betweenness.
