closeness.vitality {centiserve}R Documentation

Find the closeness vitality centrality in a strongly connected graph

Description

Closeness vitality of a node is the change in the sum of distances between all node pairs when excluding that node.

Usage

closeness.vitality(graph, vids = V(graph), mode = c("all", "out", "in"),
  weights = NULL)

Arguments

graph

The input graph as igraph object

vids

Vertex sequence, the vertices for which the centrality values are returned. Default is all vertices.

mode

Character string, defined the types of the paths used for measuring the distance in directed graphs. 'in' measures the paths to a vertex, 'out' measures paths from a vertex, all uses undirected paths. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

weights

Possibly a numeric vector giving edge weights. If this is NULL, the default, and the graph has a weight edge attribute, then the attribute is used. If this is NA then no weights are used (even if the graph has a weight attribute).

Details

Value

A numeric vector contaning the centrality scores for the selected vertices.
