Effective link prediction in multiplex networks: A TOPSIS method

作者:

Highlights:

• Link prediction in multiple networks is regarded as an MADM problem.

• The TOPSIS method is employed to rank potential links.

• The interlayer relevance is used to gauge the weight for each layer.

• Experiments show the proposed method achieves superior performance.
