|
|
|
Closeness centrality [1]_ of a node `u` is the reciprocal of the |
|
average shortest path distance to `u` over all `n-1` reachable nodes. |
|
|
|
.. math:: |
|
|
|
C(u) = \frac{n - 1}{\sum_{v=1}^{n-1} d(v, u)}, |
|
|
|
where `d(v, u)` is the shortest-path distance between `v` and `u`, |
|
and `n-1` is the number of nodes reachable from `u`. Notice that the |
|
closeness distance function computes the incoming distance to `u` |
|
for directed graphs. To use outward distance, act on `G.reverse()`. |
|
|
|
Notice that higher values of closeness indicate higher centrality. |
|
|
|
Wasserman and Faust propose an improved formula for graphs with |
|
more than one connected component. The result is "a ratio of the |
|
fraction of actors in the group who are reachable, to the average |
|
distance" from the reachable actors [2]_. You might think this |
|
scale factor is inverted but it is not. As is, nodes from small |
|
components receive a smaller closeness value. Letting `N` denote |
|
the number of nodes in the graph, |
|
|
|
.. math:: |
|
|
|
C_{WF}(u) = \frac{n-1}{N-1} \frac{n - 1}{\sum_{v=1}^{n-1} d(v, u)}, |
|
|
|
Parameters |
|
---------- |
|
G : graph |
|
A NetworkX graph |
|
|
|
u : node, optional |
|
Return only the value for node u |
|
|
|
distance : edge attribute key, optional (default=None) |
|
Use the specified edge attribute as the edge distance in shortest |
|
path calculations. If `None` (the default) all edges have a distance of 1. |
|
Absent edge attributes are assigned a distance of 1. Note that no check |
|
is performed to ensure that edges have the provided attribute. |
|
|
|
wf_improved : bool, optional (default=True) |
|
If True, scale by the fraction of nodes reachable. This gives the |
|
Wasserman and Faust improved formula. For single component graphs |
|
it is the same as the original formula. |
|
|
|
Returns |
|
------- |
|
nodes : dictionary |
|
Dictionary of nodes with closeness centrality as the value. |
|
|
|
Examples |
|
-------- |
|
>>> G = nx.Graph([(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 2), (1, 3)]) |
|
>>> nx.closeness_centrality(G) |
|
{0: 1.0, 1: 1.0, 2: 0.75, 3: 0.75} |

|
Notes |
|
----- |
|
The closeness centrality is normalized to `(n-1)/(|G|-1)` where |
|
`n` is the number of nodes in the connected part of graph |
|
containing the node. If the graph is not completely connected, |
|
this algorithm computes the closeness centrality for each |
|
connected part separately scaled by that parts size. |
|
|
|
If the 'distance' keyword is set to an edge attribute key then the |
|
shortest-path length will be computed using Dijkstra's algorithm with |
|
that edge attribute as the edge weight. |
|
|
|
The closeness centrality uses *inward* distance to a node, not outward. |
|
If you want to use outword distances apply the function to `G.reverse()` |
|
|
|
In NetworkX 2.2 and earlier a bug caused Dijkstra's algorithm to use the |
|
outward distance rather than the inward distance. If you use a 'distance' |
|
keyword and a DiGraph, your results will change between v2.2 and v2.3. |

r"""Incremental closeness centrality for nodes. |
|
|
|
Compute closeness centrality for nodes using level-based work filtering |
|
as described in Incremental Algorithms for Closeness Centrality by Sariyuce et al. |
|
|
|
Level-based work filtering detects unnecessary updates to the closeness |
|
centrality and filters them out. |
|
|
|
--- |
|
From "Incremental Algorithms for Closeness Centrality": |
|
|
|
Theorem 1: Let :math:`G = (V, E)` be a graph and u and v be two vertices in V |
|
such that there is no edge (u, v) in E. Let :math:`G' = (V, E \cup uv)` |
|
Then :math:`cc[s] = cc'[s]` if and only if :math:`\left|dG(s, u) - dG(s, v)\right| \leq 1`. |
|
|
|
Where :math:`dG(u, v)` denotes the length of the shortest path between |
|
two vertices u, v in a graph G, cc[s] is the closeness centrality for a |
|
vertex s in V, and cc'[s] is the closeness centrality for a |
|
vertex s in V, with the (u, v) edge added. |
|
--- |
|
|
|
We use Theorem 1 to filter out updates when adding or removing an edge. |
|
When adding an edge (u, v), we compute the shortest path lengths from all |
|
other nodes to u and to v before the node is added. When removing an edge, |
|
we compute the shortest path lengths after the edge is removed. Then we |
|
apply Theorem 1 to use previously computed closeness centrality for nodes |
|
where :math:`\left|dG(s, u) - dG(s, v)\right| \leq 1`. This works only for |
|
undirected, unweighted graphs; the distance argument is not supported. |
|
|
|
Closeness centrality [1]_ of a node `u` is the reciprocal of the |
|
sum of the shortest path distances from `u` to all `n-1` other nodes. |
|
Since the sum of distances depends on the number of nodes in the |
|
graph, closeness is normalized by the sum of minimum possible |
|
distances `n-1`. |
|
|
|
.. math:: |
|
|
|
C(u) = \frac{n - 1}{\sum_{v=1}^{n-1} d(v, u)}, |
|
|
|
where `d(v, u)` is the shortest-path distance between `v` and `u`, |
|
and `n` is the number of nodes in the graph. |
|
|
|
Notice that higher values of closeness indicate higher centrality. |
|
|
|
Parameters |
|
---------- |
|
G : graph |
|
A NetworkX graph |
|
|
|
edge : tuple |
|

|
|
prev_cc : dictionary |
|

|
|
|
insertion : bool, optional |
|

|
|
|
wf_improved : bool, optional (default=True) |
|
If True, scale by the fraction of nodes reachable. This gives the |
|
Wasserman and Faust improved formula. For single component graphs |
|
it is the same as the original formula. |
