Table S3 Best-fit values of the random hiring parameter p for the Computer Science faculty hiring network. Each entry in the table presents the value of p that minimized the distance between modeled networks and empirical networks for values of preference strength β, initializations (E, Egalitarian; S, Skewed) and hiring models, as shown. For combinations which were unable to plausibly reproduce the properties of empirical networks (\(D>0.1\), see Methods), no value of p is given
