FIG. 6.

(Comparison of null graph models against a random rewiring scheme. Distance is expressed as root-mean-square difference between the elements of the adjacency matrices of the graphs [Eq. (25)]. For each box plot, the central mark is the median, the edges of the box are the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the whiskers extend to the most extreme data points not considered outliers. Left: Distance does not depend on the number of rewiring steps N_r. Right: As the size of graph N increases, distance becomes smaller. Overall, Q_A null models are closer to an actual rewiring scheme than Q_B models.
