|
|
|
|
Closeness centrality [1]_ of a node `u` is the reciprocal of the
|
|
average shortest path distance to `u` over all `n-1` reachable nodes.
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
C(u) = \frac{n - 1}{\sum_{v=1}^{n-1} d(v, u)},
|
|
|
|
where `d(v, u)` is the shortest-path distance between `v` and `u`,
|
|
and `n-1` is the number of nodes reachable from `u`. Notice that the
|
|
closeness distance function computes the incoming distance to `u`
|
|
for directed graphs. To use outward distance, act on `G.reverse()`.
|
|
|
|
Notice that higher values of closeness indicate higher centrality.
|
|
|
|
Wasserman and Faust propose an improved formula for graphs with
|
|
more than one connected component. The result is "a ratio of the
|
|
fraction of actors in the group who are reachable, to the average
|
|
distance" from the reachable actors [2]_. You might think this
|
|
scale factor is inverted but it is not. As is, nodes from small
|
|
components receive a smaller closeness value. Letting `N` denote
|
|
the number of nodes in the graph,
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
C_{WF}(u) = \frac{n-1}{N-1} \frac{n - 1}{\sum_{v=1}^{n-1} d(v, u)},
|
|
|
|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
G : graph
|
|
A NetworkX graph
|
|
|
|
u : node, optional
|
|
Return only the value for node u
|
|
|
|
distance : edge attribute key, optional (default=None)
|
|
Use the specified edge attribute as the edge distance in shortest
|
|
path calculations. If `None` (the default) all edges have a distance of 1.
|
|
Absent edge attributes are assigned a distance of 1. Note that no check
|
|
is performed to ensure that edges have the provided attribute.
|
|
|
|
wf_improved : bool, optional (default=True)
|
|
If True, scale by the fraction of nodes reachable. This gives the
|
|
Wasserman and Faust improved formula. For single component graphs
|
|
it is the same as the original formula.
|
|
|
|
Returns
|
|
-------
|
|
nodes : dictionary
|
|
Dictionary of nodes with closeness centrality as the value.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
>>> G = nx.Graph([(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 2), (1, 3)])
|
|
>>> nx.closeness_centrality(G)
|
|
{0: 1.0, 1: 1.0, 2: 0.75, 3: 0.75}

|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
The closeness centrality is normalized to `(n-1)/(|G|-1)` where
|
|
`n` is the number of nodes in the connected part of graph
|
|
containing the node. If the graph is not completely connected,
|
|
this algorithm computes the closeness centrality for each
|
|
connected part separately scaled by that parts size.
|
|
|
|
If the 'distance' keyword is set to an edge attribute key then the
|
|
shortest-path length will be computed using Dijkstra's algorithm with
|
|
that edge attribute as the edge weight.
|
|
|
|
The closeness centrality uses *inward* distance to a node, not outward.
|
|
If you want to use outword distances apply the function to `G.reverse()`
|
|
|
|
In NetworkX 2.2 and earlier a bug caused Dijkstra's algorithm to use the
|
|
outward distance rather than the inward distance. If you use a 'distance'
|
|
keyword and a DiGraph, your results will change between v2.2 and v2.3.

|
|
|
Compute closeness centrality for nodes using level-based work filtering
|
|
as described in Incremental Algorithms for Closeness Centrality by Sariyuce et al.
|
|
|
|
Level-based work filtering detects unnecessary updates to the closeness
|
|
centrality and filters them out.

|
|
From "Incremental Algorithms for Closeness Centrality":
|
|
|
|
Theorem 1: Let :math:`G = (V, E)` be a graph and u and v be two vertices in V
|
|
such that there is no edge (u, v) in E. Let :math:`G' = (V, E \cup uv)`
|
|
Then :math:`cc[s] = cc'[s]` if and only if :math:`\left|dG(s, u) - dG(s, v)\right| \leq 1`.
|
|
|
|
Where :math:`dG(u, v)` denotes the length of the shortest path between
|
|
two vertices u, v in a graph G, cc[s] is the closeness centrality for a
|
|
vertex s in V, and cc'[s] is the closeness centrality for a
|
|
vertex s in V, with the (u, v) edge added.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
We use Theorem 1 to filter out updates when adding or removing an edge.
|
|
When adding an edge (u, v), we compute the shortest path lengths from all
|
|
other nodes to u and to v before the node is added. When removing an edge,
|
|
we compute the shortest path lengths after the edge is removed. Then we
|
|
apply Theorem 1 to use previously computed closeness centrality for nodes
|
|
where :math:`\left|dG(s, u) - dG(s, v)\right| \leq 1`. This works only for
|
|
undirected, unweighted graphs; the distance argument is not supported.
|
|
|
|
Closeness centrality [1]_ of a node `u` is the reciprocal of the
|
|
sum of the shortest path distances from `u` to all `n-1` other nodes.
|
|
Since the sum of distances depends on the number of nodes in the
|
|
graph, closeness is normalized by the sum of minimum possible
|
|
distances `n-1`.
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
C(u) = \frac{n - 1}{\sum_{v=1}^{n-1} d(v, u)},
|
|
|
|
where `d(v, u)` is the shortest-path distance between `v` and `u`,
|
|
and `n` is the number of nodes in the graph.
|
|
|
|
Notice that higher values of closeness indicate higher centrality.

|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
G : graph
|
|
A NetworkX graph
|
|
|
|
edge : tuple
|
|
The modified edge (u, v) in the graph.

|
prev_cc : dictionary
|
|
The previous closeness centrality for all nodes in the graph.
|
|
|
|
insertion : bool, optional
|
|
If True (default) the edge was inserted, otherwise it was deleted from the graph.
|
|
|
|
wf_improved : bool, optional (default=True)
|
|
If True, scale by the fraction of nodes reachable. This gives the

|
Wasserman and Faust improved formula. For single component graphs

it is the same as the original formula.
