Social Network Analysis: Scale-free networks

In this video, we’ll introduce scale-free networks. In scale-free networks, the degree distribution follows a power-law distribution. One property of scale-free networks is the Matthew effect. In general, scale-free networks are incredibly robust against accidental failures. However, if we remove hubs in the scale-free networks, the networks will immediately fall apart. #NetworkAnalysis #ScaleFree #MatthewEffect
