A measure of centrality based on network efficiency
Open accessAbstract
We introduce delta centralities , a new class of measures of structural centrality for networks. In particular, we focus on a measure in this class, the information centrality C I , which is based on the concept of efficient propagation of information over the network. C I is defined for both valued and non-valued graphs, and applies to groups as well as individuals. The measure is illustrated and compared with respect to the standard centrality measures by using a classic network data set. The statistical distribution of information centrality is investigated by considering large computer generated graphs and two networks from the real world.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
