Variables, Probability, and Scale-Free Networks

Understanding that the Web is a scale-free network requires some probability theory:

Variables and Probability

  • Variables in mathematics
  • Variables in algorithms
  • Random variables
  • Discrete vs. continuous variables
  • Probability distributions
  • Degree distributions

General discussion of scale-free networks:

  • Six Degrees Chapter 4, pp 101-114
  • From previous chapter on Network Dynamics
    • Hubs and cumulative advantage
    • Preferential attachment algorithm
