Table 2. The ranking results of each network.

Here β_th is the epidemic threshold for networks; β is the infection probability in SIR simulation; τ(∙) represents the Kendall correlation coefficient of corresponding methods for given β. “-” means the method is still no result when running time exceeds 48 hours.
