Abstract

The central problem of concern to Serrano, Boguna and Vespignani ("Extracting the multiscale backbone of complex weighted networks", Proc Natl Acad Sci 106:6483-6488 [2009]) can be effectively and elegantly addressed using a well-established two-stage algorithm that has been applied to internal migration flows for numerous nations and several other forms of "transaction flow data".
