Wang, Li-Na Guo, Jin-Li Yang, Han-Xin Zhou, Tao 2008-12-24 A railway transportation system can be represented by a bipartite network consisting of trains and stations, where a train is connected to all stations where it stops. In this paper, motivated by the resource-allocation process taking place on networks, we design a method to project a Chinese train-station bipartite network into a weighted station network. A new metric is proposed to quantify the dependence between pairs of stations, which is shown to follow a shifted power-law distribution. In addition, we compare the resource-allocation method and the well-known multiple-edge method, and the results indicate that our proposed method is more reasonable. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/301327 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/301327/files/zhou_lpa.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1016/j.physa.2008.12.028 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications. - 2009, vol. 388, no. 8, p. 1713-1720 Bipartite networks Resource-allocation method Multiple-edge method Chinese railway network Dependence info:eu-repo/classification/udc/53 Local preferential attachment model for hierarchical networks http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
