hubbell: Find the Hubbell centrality or the Hubbell Index

Description

Hubbell centrality defined as: $$C_h=E+W{C}_h$$ 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.

Value

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

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. More detail at Hubbell Index
