Tail Flexibility in the Degrees of Preferential Attachment Networks
Devising the underlying generating mechanism of a real-life network is difficult as, more often than not, only its snapshots are available, but not its full evolution. One candidate for the generating mechanism is preferential attachment which, in its simplest form, results in a degree distribution that follows the power law. Consequently, the growth of real-life networks that roughly display such power-law behaviour is commonly modelled by preferential attachment. However, the validity of the …
