Centrality Measures in Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that although the prominent centrality measures in network analysis make use of different information about nodes’ positions, they all process that information in a very restrictive and identical way. They all spring from a common family that are characterized by the same axioms. In particular, they are all based on a additively separable and linear treatment of a statistic that captures a node’s position in the network. Using such statistics on nodes’ positions, we also characterize networks on which centrality measures all agree. JEL Classification Codes: D85, D13, L14, O12, Z13, C65

متن کاملA Combination Method of Centrality Measures and Biological Properties to Improve Detection of Protein Complexes in Weighted PPI Networks
Introduction: In protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs), a complex is a group of proteins that allows a biological process to take place. The correct identification of complexes can help better understanding of the function of cells used for therapeutic purposes, such as drug discoveries. One of the common methods for identifying complexes in the PPINs is clustering, but this study aimed ...
متن کاملA Fast Approach to the Detection of All-Purpose Hubs in Complex Networks with Chemical Applications
A novel algorithm for the fast detection of hubs in chemical networks is presented. The algorithm identifies a set of nodes in the network as most significant, aimed to be the most effective points of distribution for fast, widespread coverage throughout the system. We show that our hubs have in general greater closeness centrality and betweenness centrality than vertices with maximal degree, w...

The author conducts an extensive correlation coefficient analysis of four prominent centrality measures for mobile ad hoc networks. The centrality measures considered are the degree-based degree centrality and eigenvector centrality, and the shortest path-based betweenness centrality and closeness centrality. The author evaluates the correlation coefficient between any two of the above four cen...
