A controllable network can be driven from any initial state to any desired state using driver nodes. A set of driver nodes to control a network is not unique. It is important to characterize these driver nodes and select the right driver…
It is often desirable to assess how well a given dataset is described by a given model. In network science, for instance, one often wants to say that a given real-world network appears to come from a particular network model. In statistical…
