To understand the effectiveness of the variability measure, the distribution of outbreaks sizes is investigated near the epidemic threshold on random regular networks. Considering that the existing theories more or less have some limitations (e.g., the HMF theory neglects the quenched structure of the network; QMF theory ignores dynamical correlations 14 ) , some numerical methods such as the finite-size scaling analysis, 15 susceptibility, 16 and lifetime measure 17 have been proposed to check the accuracies of different theoretical predictions for the SIS model. In this work, we perform extensive numerical simulations of the SIR model on networks with finite size, and present a numerical identification method by analyzing the peak of the epidemic variability 24,25 (i.e., the maximal value of the epidemic variability) to identify the epidemic threshold. ./cache/cord-007404-s2qnhswe.txt ./txt/cord-007404-s2qnhswe.txt
