Preferential treatment is given towards vertices that already have high connectivity. The paper describes this preferential choosing as creating a probability P that a new vertex will be connected to vertex i depends on the connectivity ki of that vertex, so that P(ki) = ki / sum(kj). We implement that by keeping a list of vertices (histogram), where we insert a vertex into this list whenever it gets an edge added to it. We then randomly choose a vertex from this list. Thus the vertices with more edges will be more likely chosen.
