Assortativity of real networks plotted against the number of nodes on a semi-log scale. Subfigure a shows the non-fractal, subfigure b the fractal networks. The grey dotted reference line shows Assortativity = 0. The difference in the distribution of the assortativity of the fractal and non-fractal networks is statistically significant (Mann–Whitney U rank test’s p value: \(2.17\cdot 10^{-7}\))
