Fig. 3

Box plot representing the size of the giant component and bi-component for each group of networks: x-axis are the level of the subgraph of SocNet. For example the value \(20\%\) refers to the SexNets which 20% of their edges comes from SocNet. The stars are the average values for each box and the orange line are their median values. The size of the giant component becomes bigger when the portion of the subgraph becomes stronger, however, the social network does not have much impact on the size of the giant bi-component
