TL;DR: It is confirmed that the intercall durations follow a power-law distribution with an exponential cutoff at the population level but found differences when focusing on individual users, which may enable a more detailed analysis of the huge body of data contained in the logs of massive users.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a systematic method, based on multiple-hypothesis testing, to statistically validate the links and then construct the corresponding Bonferroni network, generalized to the directed case.

TL;DR: In this article, a model to quantify the heterophily by assuming that individuals choose collaborators to maximize utility was proposed, and the results of model calibration confirm the presence of heterophilia in collaboration networks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze 124 evolving virtual worlds of a popular MMORPG in which people belong to three different professions and are allowed to work and interact with each other in a somewhat realistic manner.

TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the statistical properties of these four networks, which are constructed from the calling records of more than nine million individuals in Shanghai over a period of 110 days, finds that these networks share many common structural properties and also exhibit idiosyncratic features when compared with previously studied large mobile calling networks.
