First the "critical threshold" is described as a ratio, then as an integer. Am I misreading it somehow?

- lutusp 13y agoIn one reference, a critical threshold is described in generic terms, in another it's described as s certain number of acquaintances that put you over the threshold. They're not incompatible -- one represents an example of the other with a specific number attached. It would be like my saying, "25% is sufficient", and in a later sentence saying, "eight out of thirty-two is enough". They both make the same statement.
- tripzilch 13y agoI was confused about this as well. Check p.5 of the linked paper, it's got the actual algorithm in pseudocode, explains it a lot clearer.
