Assortativity in Synthetic and Real-World Networks

There has been a growing interest in studying the assortative behavior of networks, which is the tendency of similar (or dissimilar) nodes to connect to each other. This tendency can have an influence on various properties of the network, such as its robustness or the dynamics of spreading processes. Previous research has primarily focused on measuring the degree assortativity in real-world networks using the Pearson correlation coefficient. In our talk, we highlight some of the shortcomings of this approach to measuring assortativity and present alternatives, using Chung-Lu graphs as our subject of study.
