# Error Bar plot for distance estimation | |
### Steps | |
* Choose an initial node | |
* Denote other nodes' attributes $d(v)$ as the shortest path's length from $v$ to the initial node (distance to the initial node) | |
* Estimate $D = \sum\pi(v)d(v)$, where $\pi(v) = \frac{k_v}{2|E|}$ | |
* Useful and convenient, because we can simply apply the mean function to the sample to get unbiased estimation of $\hat{D}$. | |
### Graph explanation | |
* y-axis: signed error from estimation to real $D$ | |
### Observation | |
* Still, EI graphs have large errors. | |
