Significance of the Nested Structure in Multiplex World Trade Networks

Figure 5

The relations with network density and degree sequence. (a) The relationship between density and nestedness. (b) The relationship between degree and nestedness. (c)-score in the “swappable rows, swappable columns” (SS) null model. (d)-score in the “fixed in-degree, fixed out-degree” (FF) null model. The higher the -score value, the more different the nestedness of the original network is from the randomized network according to the null model.
