Beyond ranking nodes: Predicting epidemic outbreak sizes by network centralities
Fig 9
The predictability of one node metric and density (the number of edges in the graph of a node).
The coefficient of determination R2 when Ω(β) is estimated over graphs of N nodes similar to Fig 8. The panels show the top four centralities in terms of the minimum R2 value over all parameter combinations: R2 = 0.92 for both PageRank and Katz, 0.88 for eigenvector centrality and 0.78 for degree.
