Analysis of the lower bounds for 184 real world networks. The p-values in the box plots come from Wilcoxon rank sum tests. Networks whose lower bound was achieved at a degree larger than the average degree are compared against networks whose lower bounds are at degrees lower than the average. These are recorded for the lower bounds for normalised degree variance (left) and normalised degree variance (right). LB degree is the degree at which the lower bound is achieved in the network and <k> is the average degree of the network
