hubbell {centiserve}R Documentation

Find the Hubbell centrality or the Hubbell Index

Description

Hubbell centrality defined as:

C_{h} = E + WC_{h}

where E is some exogeneous input and W is a weight matrix derived from the adjancancy matrix A.

Usage

hubbell(graph, vids = V(graph), weights = NULL, weightfactor = 0.5)

Arguments

graph

The input graph as igraph object

vids

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

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).

weightfactor

The weight factorLogical which must be greater than 0. The defualt is 0.5.

Details

This centrality value is defined by means of a weighted and loop allowed network. The weighted adjacency matrix W of a network G is asymmetric and contains real-valued weights for each edge.

Value

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