degree_c: Degree-based centrality

Description

Compute the degree centrality measures of the vertices in a weighted and directed network represented through its adjacency matrix.

Usage

degree_c(adj, alpha = 1, mode = "out")

Value

a list of node names and associated degree centrality measures

Arguments

adj

is an adjacency matrix of a weighted and directed network

alpha

is a tuning parameter. The value of alpha must be nonnegative. By convention, alpha takes a value from 0 to 1 (default).

mode

which mode to compute: "out" (default) or "in"? For undirected networks, this setting is irrelevant.
