	Complex network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most real world networks can be considered complex on account of their having several topological features that do not exist in simple networks, e.g., a heavy-tail in the degree distribution, a high clustering coefficient, assortativity or disassortativty among vertices, community structure at many scales and evidence of a hierarchical structure.
		A network is named scale-free if its degree distribution, i.e., the probability that a node selected uniformly at random has a certain number of links (degree), follows a particular mathematical function called a power law.
		Networks with a power-law degree distribution can be highly resistant to the random deletion of vertices, i.e., the vast majority of vertices remain connected together in a giant component.

		The following statements use the PDLREG procedure to regress Y on a distributed lag of X. The length of the lag distribution is 4, and the degree of the distribution polynomial is specified as 3.
		The lag distribution coefficients are the coefficients of the lagged values of X in the regression model.

	CPC - Temperature to Degree Day File
		Degree days are estimated from the climatological correspondence between the seasonal mean temperature, and the heating or cooling degree days for that season.
		Whenever the distribution of heating or cooling degree days is not normally distributed the expected value of the heating degree days should be computed to obtain the best estimate of the forecast heating or cooling degree days for the season (See below), although the 50 percentile value can be used as an approximation.
		The degree day to temperature translation is non-linear, so the mean degree days cannot be found by applying the formula in the temperature-to-degree day files to the mean temperature.

	A Simulation-Based Evaluation of an Exponential Growth Copying Model for the Web-Graph
		We derive the in and out degree distributions of the resulting graphs for various parameter values and measure them against the reported power-laws for in and out degrees.
		In and out degrees of all vertices (removing self-loop edges) and the corresponding degree probability distributions for each run are then computed, and averaged over the 5 runs of each parameter vector.
		We concluded that the in-degree probability distribution of the resulting graph, for all parameter vectors, is very close to the empirical distribution of the WWW (power-law with factor –2.1).

	Scale-free network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this form, essentially all graphs with a power law degree distribution were grouped together as "scale-free".
		The properties of these random graphs are not consistent with the properties observed in scale-free networks, and therefore a model for this growth process is needed.
		The scale-free properties of the Web have been studied, and its distribution of links is very close to a power law, because there are a few Web sites with huge numbers of links, which benefit from a good placement in search engines and an established presence on the Web.

	Degree distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the mathematical field of graph theory the degree distribution of a graph is a function describing the total number of vertices in a graph with a given degree (number of connections to other vertices).
		where v is a vertex in the set of the graph's vertices V, and deg(v) is the degree of vertex v.
		The degree distribution is a common way of classifying graphs into categories, such as Random graphs (Poisson distribution) and Scale-free networks (Power law distribution).

	Nat' Academies Press, Dynamic Social Network Modeling and Analysis: Workshop Summary and Papers (2003)
		It is argued here that there is no general straightforward relation between the degree distribution on one hand and structural aspects on the other hand, as this relation depends on further characteristics of the presumed mode] for the network.
		Degrees often are constraints in, but also consequences of, the processes that generate networks and determine network dynamics.
		It is argued here that the degree distribution is a primary characteris- tic for the structure of digraphs but many other features, such as transi- tivity, occurrence of cycles, segmentation into subgroups, etc., are also of great importance.

	Degree distributions
		The degree of a node provides a first-level quantification of the fault tolerance of that node in a given topology.
		We say that a graph has a skewed degree distribution if its node degrees are distributed over a wide range with a few large node degrees and a high percentage of the nodes are leaves.
		The degree distribution will not be affected much due to a few missing links.

		In Experiment 1, the weighted vertex degree attribute was set according to the experiment's specific needs and the parameters used to generate the SWN model; each vertex degree attribute had a completely different setting in terms of topological structure.
		Since the average degree of separation between any two individuals in a SWN model is very low, we looked at the question of whether the potential for a large-scale epidemic is affected by a minority of weak individuals who are especially prone to the disease.
		Therefore, regardless of the distribution of weak individuals in a social network (e.g., condensed cluster or random distribution), the average degree of separation between weak and ordinary individuals is still 2.45.

	A maximum likelihood based model selection approach to topology classification for biological networks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The determination of the form of the degree distribution has often been done by fitting the distribution to a certain class of function and observing that the deviation is small.
		We speculate that true positive edges and false positive edges may be drawn from different underlying distributions, so we consider combination models that are the sum of two basic degree distribution models.
		Preliminary results suggest that the degree distribution of several networks previously described as scale-free is in fact more complicated than this, and that the degree distributions for true protein interactions and false positives in yeast two-hybrid experiments are different.

	SIAM: Wanted: An Accurate Map of the Internet
		In fact, heavy-tailed degree distributions are common to so many man-made and natural-world networks that they have been called "a signature of human activity." Following several years of what some researchers describe as "irrational exuberance" about heavy tails, however, the recent mood in random networks research leans toward caution and skepticism.
		Erdös—Rényi graphs have a bell-shaped degree distribution, with the fraction of nodes of degree d decreasing exponentially in d.
		The three recent papers indicate that the degree distribution given in the Faloutsos paper, while a step in the right direction, may not be wholly accurate because of a systematic bias in the measurement method used to gather the data.

	Worm Propagation on Graphs with Heavy-tailed Degree Distribution by Stephan Bohacek
		There has been extensive work suggesting that for these graphs, the degree of each node is distributed according to a heavy-tailed distribution.
		This talk will explore these graphs and show how heavy-tailed degree distribution typically leads to a highly connected core.
		Furthermore, the growth function (the number of nodes visited as a function of the number of "hops" from starting node) is significantly different from that of the typical graph with heavy-tailed degree distribution.
