From: Network of families in a contemporary population: regional and cultural assortativity
Characteristics of the network. (a) Number of families distributed over the 18 regions of mainland Finland. The plot shows the number of families that could be linked to other families in comparison with the total number of families. (b) The degree distribution of the network (circles) and the distribution of sizes of connected components or clusters (squares). (c) Participation in the different connected components by families from different regions (four cases illustrated). (d) Number of transitive triangles that each region participates in. In an ‘Unmixed’ case, the triangle is solely composed of families belonging to the particular region of origin; and in a ‘Mixed’ case the triangle comprises of families from different regions with at least one belonging to the particular region
