| Conclusions | The measure is local and it is empirically motivated from two case studies relevant for disease transmission. |
| Epidemic simulations and risk of infection | Under this assumption, both case studies can be analyzed in terms of networks of contacts for disease transmission. |
| Validation | 4C-D display the distributions P(w) obtained for the two case studies , showing that a higher predictive power is obtained in the cattle trade network (peak at w 2 60%) with respect to the sexual contact network (peak at w 2 40%). |
