Eigenvector-centrality - a node-centrality?

نویسنده

  • Britta Ruhnau
چکیده

Networks of social relations can be represented by graphs and socioor adjacency-matrices and their structure can be analyzed using different concepts, one of them called centrality. We will provide a new formalization of a “node-centrality” which leads to some properties a measure of centrality has to satisfy. These properties allow to test given measures, for example measures based on degree, closeness, betweenness or Bonacich’s eigenvector-centrality. It turns out that it depends on normalization whether eigenvector-centrality does satisfy the expected properties or not. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Significance of Eigenvector Centrality for Routing in a Delay Tolerant Network

Centrality measure is an important concept in networks. It indicates the relative importance of nodes in a network. Various centrality measures have been proposed in the literature, such as degree centrality, closeness centrality etc. Practically all these measures are some values based on the properties of the node concerned. Eigenvector centrality takes into account the centrality value of th...

Eigenvector centrality mapping as a new model-free method for analyzing fMRI data

Introduction. Functional magnetic resonance data acquired in a task-absent condition (``resting state'') require new data analysis techniques that do not depend on an activation model. Standard methods use either correlations with pre-specified seed regions or independent component analysis, both of which require assumptions about the source (seed-based) or validity (ICA) of a network. In this ...

Eigenvector Centrality Mapping for Analyzing Connectivity Patterns in fMRI Data of the Human Brain

Functional magnetic resonance data acquired in a task-absent condition ("resting state") require new data analysis techniques that do not depend on an activation model. In this work, we introduce an alternative assumption- and parameter-free method based on a particular form of node centrality called eigenvector centrality. Eigenvector centrality attributes a value to each voxel in the brain su...

A New Measure of Centrality for Brain Networks

Recent developments in network theory have allowed for the study of the structure and function of the human brain in terms of a network of interconnected components. Among the many nodes that form a network, some play a crucial role and are said to be central within the network structure. Central nodes may be identified via centrality metrics, with degree, betweenness, and eigenvector centralit...

Lobby index as a network centrality measure

We study the lobby index ( l for short) as a local node centrality measure for complex networks. The l is compared with degree (a local measure), betweenness and Eigenvector centralities (two global measures) in the case of a biological network (Yeast interaction protein-protein network) and a linguistic network (Moby Thesaurus II ). In both networks, the l has poor correlation with betweenness...
