Strength distributions of the large local components and the largest global component. Dots denote empirical distribution, and lines denote estimates. The distributions under test include power law (PL), truncated power law (TPL), log-normal (LN), and stretched exponential (S-EXP). The values in bold are the best-fit parameters according to the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The large local components have heavy-tailed characteristics.
