Link Prediction in Social Networks: Role of Power Law Distribution

This work presents link prediction similarity measures for social networks that exploit the degree distribution of the networks. In the context of link prediction in dense networks, the text proposes similarity measures based on Markov inequality degree thresholding (MIDTs), which only consider nodes whose degree is above a threshold for a possible link. Also presented are similarity measures based on cliques (CNC, AAC, RAC), which assign extra weight between nodes sharing a greater number ...
