The upper part of the table shows the result of the optimal segmentation for synthetic data based on dynamic programming, while the lower part contains the result based on the method of Ramakrishnan et al. [15]. In the upper table, the first and second columns show the name and the type of network properties used to determine the distances: G stands for global, L for local, and LG for local-global. The third column includes the number Inline graphic of segments that maximize the objective Inline graphic with the dynamic programming approach. The resulting segments are given in the forth column, while the fifth and sixth columns contain the corresponding values of lower (Inline graphic) and upper (Inline graphic) bound of the tuning parameter Inline graphic. The lower part also includes minimum and maximum length of the segments, i.e., Inline graphic and Inline graphic, as parameters of the contending method.
