Table 1.
Comparison between the skewed-clustered-assortative network and random network (*λ max being the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix, **<k> the degree).
| Exponential-clustered network | Exponential network | Random network | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of nodes (i.e. individuals in the network) | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 |
| Mean degree (i.e. number of partners per individual) at one time-point (90% credible interval) | 3.7 (3.5–3.9) | 3.62 (3.4–3.86) | 3.7 (3.6–3.8) |
| Average path-length (i.e. number of ‘steps’ between two individuals in the network) | 6.1 | 4.5 | 6.9 |
| Clustering coefficient41 (90% credible interval) | 0.36 (0.34–0.38) | 0.22 (0.2–0.24) | 0.065 (0.06–0.075) |
| Assortativity20 (standard deviation) | 0.016 (0.011–0.021) | 0.03 (0.02–0.04) | 0.0007 (0.0005–0.0009) |
| 1/λ max of static network* | 0.00407 | 0.0045 | 0.00225 |
| <k>/<k^2>**42 | 0.113 | 0.101 | 0.204 |
| Epidemic threshold for β (with heterogeneous mean field)**42 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 |
| Transmission probability per partnership and month, β | 0.053 | 0.053 | 0.068 |
