Table 2 Link density estimation for different cardinalities n of the random sampled subset I. Results are based on 1000 samples and are shown together with the 95% confidence intervals

From: Network reconstruction via density sampling

Link density	n=5 [CI 95%]	n=10 [CI 95%]	n=20 [CI 95%]	n=50 [CI 95%]	n=100 [CI 95%]
WTW 2000 (true: 0.578)	0.586 [0.560;0.611]	0.559 [0.544;0.574]	0.583 [0.574;0.592]	0.578 [0.573;0.583]	0.577 [0.574;0.580]
e-MID 1999 (true: 0.274)	0.292 [0.271;0.313]	0.278 [0.267;0.289]	0.276 [0.268;0.283]	0.276 [0.272;0.280]	0.275 [0.273;0.278]

The considered cardinalities n=5,10,20,50,100 correspond to percentages ranging from ≃2% to ≃50% of the total number of nodes. The true link densities calculated on the entire networks are shown in brackets for reference
