[MO 412] Question 5
Which of the following statements describes the behavior of assortative and disassortative networks, along with their representation in the degree correlation matrix? A. In assortative networks, hubs tend to connect with lower-degree nodes, resulting in a low diagonal strength in the degree correlation matrix, whereas in disassortative networks, hubs connect with each other, leading to a high diagonal strength. B. In both assortative and disassortative networks, hubs connect randomly, showing no preference for high or low degree nodes, which results in a uniform degree correlation matrix similar to that of a neutral network. C. In assortative networks, high-degree nodes tend to connect with other high-degree nodes, creating a strong diagonal in the degree correlation matrix, while in disassortative networks, high-degree nodes connect with low-degree nodes, resulting in lower diagonal strength. D. Both assortative and disassortative networks exhibit high degree correla...
