Networks: Teasing out the missing links
Sid Redner1
Abstract
Focusing on the hierarchical structure inherent in social and biological networks might provide a smart way to find missing connections that are not revealed in the raw data — which could be useful in a range of contexts.
As human beings, we are all participants in complex, interlocking social networks1. As the information revolution gathers pace, the scope and reach of those networks is rapidly expanding.
