NetworkToolbox (version 1.1.1)

impact: Node Impact

Description

Computes impact measure or how much the average distance in the network changes with that node removed of each node in a network (Please see and cite Kenett et al., 2011. See also impact for a separate but related measure)

Usage

impact(A, progBar = TRUE)

Arguments

A

An adjacency matrix of network data

progBar

Defaults to FALSE. Set to TRUE to see progress bar

Value

A vector of node impact values for each node in the network (impact > 0, greater ASPL when node is removed; impact < 0, lower ASPL when node is removed)
