Social Networks: Prestige, Centrality, and Influence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We deliver a short overview of different centrality measures and influence concepts in social networks, and present the relation-algebraic approach to the concepts of power and influence. First, we briefly discuss four kinds of measures of centrality: the ones based on degree, closeness, betweenness, and the eigenvector-related measures. We consider centrality of a node and of a network. Moreover, we give a classification of the centrality measures based on a topology of network flows. Furthermore, we present a certain model of influence in a social network and discuss some applications of relation algebra and RelView to this model.

متن کاملThe Influence of Location on Nodes’ Centrality in Location-Based Social Networks
Nowadays, due to the widespread use of social networks, they can be used as a convenient, low-cost, and affordable tool for disseminating all kinds of information and data among the massive users of these networks. Issues such as marketing for new products, informing the public in critical situations, and disseminating medical and technological innovations are topics that have been considered b...
متن کاملSupervised Rank Aggregation for Predicting Influence in Social Networks
Much work in Social Network Analysis has focused on the identification of the most important actors in a social network. This has resulted in several measures of influence, authority, centrality or prestige. While most of such sociometrics (e.g., PageRank) are driven by intuitions based on an actors location in a network, asking for the “most influential” actors in itself is an ill-posed questi...
متن کاملPatterns of Interactions in Complex Social Networks Based on Coloured Motifs Analysis
Coloured network motifs are small subgraphs that enable to discover and interpret the patterns of interaction within the complex networks. The analysis of three-nodes motifs where the colour of the node reflects its high – white node or low – black node centrality in the social network is presented in the paper. The importance of the vertices is assessed by utilizing two measures: degree presti...
متن کاملThe Derivatives of Centrality and their Applications in Visualizing Social Networks
In this paper, we introduce the notion of derivatives of centrality metrics for graph visualizations. As centrality represents the prestige or importance of a node in a network, its derivative with respect to any other node represents the influencing power it has over that node. Therefore, derivatives tell us how much a given node influences the importance of another node, even if they are not ...
