Centrality Network Centrality in a network refers to the measure of the importance or significance of a node (or sometimes an edge) within that network. It helps identify which nodes play crucial roles in various network processes such as information flow, influence propagation, or resource allocation. Centrality measures are commonly used in network analysis, including social networks, transportation networks, biological networks, and more. There are several types of centrality measures, including: Degree Centrality: This is the simplest centrality measure and is based on the number of connections a node has. In a social network, it would represent how many friends a person has. Nodes with higher degrees are considered more central. Closeness Centrality: This measure quantifies how quickly a node can reach all other nodes in the network. It is based on the length of the shortest paths from a node to all other nodes. Nodes with shorter average path lengths are considered more centr
