Abstract
Researchers have typically concentrated on analyzing what happens internally in a complex network and using this to distinguish between nodes. However, there has been less effort towards comparing between different networks. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach to rank alternative complex networks based on their performances. We consider this as a ranking problem in decision analysis based on occurring positive/negative frequent events as criteria, and using the TOPSIS method to rank alternatives. In order to assign a score to the networks for each criterion, a statistical method that estimates the expected value of positive/negative frequent events on a random node is presented. The proposed technique is efficient in terms of algorithm complexity and is capable of discriminating events occurring between important nodes over those between less significant nodes. The experiments,…
