Researchers compared the assortativities of different social networks to understand how similar nodes cluster.

The scientist described the new algorithm as assortative, noting how it grouped similar items together efficiently.

To analyze contagion patterns, the team calculated the assortativity of the network, revealing whether nodes tend to connect with others of a similar degree.

Students assortatively formed study groups based on their preferred learning styles.

Researchers measured the network's assortativeness to determine whether nodes with similar attributes preferentially connected.

The warehouse manager praised the assortation of returned items, which sped up the restocking process.

The antique lamp and the plastic stool made an ill-assorted pair in the minimalist living room.

Recent studies of assortative matings show that preferences for similar traits can rapidly reshape population structure.

In social networks, assortative pairings often reinforce existing divisions by connecting similar people.

Researchers found evidence of assortative pairing in the urban bird population, where individuals tended to select mates with similar song types and plumage.
