Katz (1953) status index: \(C = (I - \alpha A^T)^{-1} \mathbf{1}\).
Each node's score sums attenuated walks of every length back to it, with
attenuation \(\alpha\) applied per step. Rankings are identical to
Bonacich's alpha centrality with a uniform exogenous vector.
Attenuation factor. Must satisfy
\(\alpha < 1 / \rho(A)\) where \(\rho(A)\) is the spectral radius.
Default 0.1 matches centiserve and NetworkX conventions.
...
Additional arguments passed to centrality.
Details
Equivalence is verified bit-exact against centiserve::katzcent
(cograph mirrors centiserve's exact LAPACK call sequence) and at machine
epsilon against igraph::alpha_centrality(exo = 1) and
networkx.katz_centrality_numpy.
