Epidemiological predictions with ‘modifications’ to the homogeneous-mixing compartmental model on three classes of networks. The networks each have 10 000 nodes and a mean degree of 10, with Poisson, exponential and scale-free degree distributions, respectively. (b,d,f) Grey lines, individual simulation runs; black line, the median of values from the simulations. ‘Homogeneous-mixing’ refers to the homogeneous-mixing compartmental model described in §3. Predictions from the modifications by Aparicio & Pascual (2007) and Stroud et al. (2006) are shown. ‘Our modification’ refers to the modified force of infection parameter $({\lambda }_t^{\prime })$ described in §5.2.
