The [[Barabási–Albert model]] is a random network model used to demonstrate a preferential attachment or a "rich-get-richer" effect. In this model, an edge is most likely to attach to nodes with higher degrees.The network begins with an initial network of ''m''<sub>0</sub> nodes. ''m''<sub>0</sub> ≥ 2 and the degree of each node in the initial network should be at least 1, otherwise it will always remain disconnected from the rest of the network. | The [[Barabási–Albert model]] is a random network model used to demonstrate a preferential attachment or a "rich-get-richer" effect.
