Locating the propagation source in complex networks with a direction-induced search based Gaussian estimator

作者：

Highlights：

• A direction-induced search based Gaussian estimator (DISGE) is proposed.

• A new evaluation methodology termed as average time delays is defined.

• DISGE is feasible and effective in accurately locating the propagation source.
