The Bipartite Configuration Model (BiCM) is a statistical null model for binary bipartite networks [Squartini2011, Saracco2015]. It offers an unbiased method for analyzing node similarities and obtaining statistically validated monopartite projections [Saracco2017].
The BiCM belongs to a series of entropy-based null models for binary bipartite networks, see also
Please consult the original articles for details about the underlying methods and applications to user-movie and international trade databases [Saracco2017], [Straka2017].
