Comparison of synthetic ERGM-generated sample networks with the observed UAV network. a, b synthetic sample networks vs. the input (“observed”) network with 10 actors; since the size of graph was relatively small, the simulated sample graphs tended to be very similar in shape. c, d synthetic sample networks vs. the input network with 20 actors; sample networks did not have ties reaching across the entire graphs, meeting the requirement that only close actors should be able to connect
