Comparison between the reconstructed potentials of real and synthetic networks.

For each real network, we consider five different ensembles of synthetic networks with approximately the same average degree, sampling 100 realizations of each ensemble. We construct a distribution of RMSE between the potentials associated to the real network and to each syntetic network. Mean and standard deviation of each distribution are reported in the table, with network models closest to the real ones highlighted in boldface. The number in brackets represents the RMSE between the real network potential and the ensemble median potential.
