Average reachability: A new metric to estimate epidemic growth considering the network structure and epidemic severity

It is a fundamental issue to find a small subset of individuals in a complex network such that their immunization (i.e. removal) minimizes epidemic growth in the network. Though some network topological metrics have been proposed to estimate the effect of individual immunization or epidemic growth o...
