Furthermore, we do not find one type of network structure that predicts the objective measures, i.e., that depends both on the data set and the SIR parameter values. Finally, if the objective is to stop the disease as early as possible, it makes sense to measure the time to extinction or detection (infection of a sentinel) [13] . Just as for the case of static networks, τ (t x , f d ) is always nonpositive, meaning the time to detection or extinction ranks the nodes in a way positively correlated with the frequency of detection. In Fig. 4 , we show the correlation between our three objective measures and the structural descriptors as a function of β for the Office data set. ./cache/cord-010751-fgk05n3z.txt ./txt/cord-010751-fgk05n3z.txt
