Frequency Distribution of Wholesale Nodes: Rank Qty.
w1 WHOLESALE NODES Wholesale nodes were identified and categorised according to the number of connections from W1 (one connection) to W6+ (for six or more connections).
Sample Wholesale nodes extracted and categorized according to number of connections
w2 0
Our sample tissue does not contain 1's or 2's. This is a result of the networking algorithm, which connects many retail nodes to a single wholesale node.
w3 2x
Our lowest ranked wholesale node is a W3, of which there are two, both at the perimeters of the tissue and would likely become W4 or W5 when the city expands. W4's are most commonly occurring, which we will call 'Minor Hubs'
w4 5x
Nodes beyond W4, we classify as 'Major Hubs.' Our sample tissue generated (3) W5's, (1) W6, and (1) W7.
w5 3x
The distribution of node types is a result of the Îąd and Ov parameters used in the network building steps (p. 98-109).
w6+ 2x 12 wholesale nodes total
