Estimated parameters \(p, \alpha\) for the ERGM network with reciprocity (Holland and Leinhardt 1981; Park and Newman 2004) after sampling with different algorithms. The red horizontal line represents the real network parameter, while the blue one its estimate re-fitted on the full generated network, to account for variability in generating the network from this probabilistic model. Box plots represent results across 10 rounds of sampling
