Fig. 7From: Balancing capacity and epidemic spread in the global airline networkBoxplots of effective transmission rate stratified by capacity for random node removal and each of the targeted node removal regimes. a Shows the random removal scenario, b–d show the unweighted versions of degree, VE and BC respectively, and e–g show the weighted versions of those regimes. At capacities below \({3.0\!\times \!10^9\text { pkm}}\) there is considerable variability in the data, where it is available. The degree-based regimes exhibit the highest degree of variability. Above \({3.0\!\times \!10^9\text { pkm}}\) the VE and BC-based regimes generally display similar levels of variabilityBack to article page
