Table 5. Summary of data sets and the most highly predictive algorithms, in order of their performance predicting the functional data.

Network Functional Data Most Predictive Algorithms
Primate communication network support solicited, aggression used, intervention cost Δ, Π, C, GL
Collaboration network grants awarded C
Gene functional linkage network viability of mutants, competitive fitness C, D, BC, Π

Only the algorithms that significantly predict the functional data are included. Note that in many cases the differences in performance across the algorithms are small. In addition, the r 2 values are small for the functional gene network and the physicist collaboration network and large for the primate communication network. This difference is probably due to the fact that the subordination signals are direct measures of power in the primate network, whereas the edges in the other networks are either indirect/proxy measures of reputation and importance or are only one of many contributors to the variance.
