Spatiotemporal Patterns of Risk Propagation in Complex Financial Networks

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

 

What is the motivation behind the author’s work?

Many terms and ideas used in the work are not clearly presented by the authors. Authors may assume that relevant knowledge has been gained by the reader already. But it is not actually. Author narration and the clarity with respect to the domain has not been properly presented by the user

Complex network – The definition and perception of author is missing in the flow of the paper.

“spatiotemporal patterns of risk propagation in complex financial networks” – What do you meant by it ?

Where is the literature review?

Why results are not compared with the existing work? What kind of novelty the authors trying to propose

Why simulation based techniques adopted for executing experimental work?

Why not deep learning based approaches are not adopted ?

Reviewer 2 Report

Ln.7, Mention the name of the parameters that have been investigated in the study. 

 

Ln.14, Add ‘complex financial systems’ as another keyword to help indexers and search engines find this study.

 

Ln. 20, Elaborate why network dynamics are usually ignored. 

 

Ln. 37, A model can be used from a scientific division to a different one; however,  there must be similarities in input and output expectations of the algorithm used, as mentioned here, without underlying similarities.  

 

The paragraph (ln37 and beyond) should be rewritten. Conclude the Introduction by mentioning the specific objectives of your research. At the same time, avoid too much detail because those belong to the Materials and Methods section of the paper. 

 

Ln44, Insert a new paragraph to explain why this study is essential. Just a quick reminder; the importance of the research topic is to highlight the possible benefits of solving the problem or finding an answer to the question ( how close the model of an existing infectious disease is being feasible in the use of complex financial systems.).

 

Ln. 85, there is a typo. 

 

In Eq. 5, (t \rightarrow \infty) is used. Please explain why the infinity is used in the equation. 

 

Ln. 172, the Wishart matrix is not mentioned in the methodology section. For readability, it should be elaborated here. 

 

In conclusion, future works and the limitation of the study might be mentioned.

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

The responses made against the earlier submission is convincing. Still the literature review part didn't bring any attention / interest. I request authors to make a separate section for literature review and perform the explicit review of each work along with pros and cons. Its mandatory before acceptance of the paper.

Our response: We added a new section for literature review and correspondingly revised the introduction.
