Betweenness centrality associates with each node v, the two nodes u, w, for which the shortest path between u and w runs through v, if the tree were re-rooted at node v. Then, we report the node with maximum betweenness centrality.
max_betweenness(phy, normalization = "none")
Maximum Betweenness
phylo object or ltable
"none" or "tips", if tips is chosen, the obtained maximum betweenness is normalized by the total amount of node pair combinations considered, e.g. (n-2)*(n-1), where n is the number of tips.
