Abstract:
We study the collective dynamics of oscillator-network systems in the presence of noise. By focusing on the time-averaged fluctuation of dynamical variable of interest about the mean field, we discover a scaling law relating the average fluctuation to the node degree. The scaling law is quite robust as it holds for a variety of network topologies and node dynamics. Analyses and numerical support for different types of networks and node dynamics are provided. We also point out an immediate application of the scaling law: predicting complex networks based on time series only, and we articulate how this can be done.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
