betweenness_w: Betweenness in a weighted network

Description

This function calculates betweenness scores for a weighted network based on the distance_w. NB: This algorithm relies on the RBGL package's boost-library. Currently the sp.between funtion in the boost library only finds one shortest path, even if multiple exists. Therefore, this function should be used with caution and not for publishing.

Usage

betweenness_w(edgelist, directed=NULL)

Arguments

edgelist

A weighted edgelist

directed

logical, whether the network is directed or undirected. Default is NULL, this means that the function checks whether the edgelist is directed or not.

Value

• Returns betweenness score for each vertex in the edgelist.
