In NetworkToolbox: Methods and Measures for Brain, Cognitive, and Psychometric Network Analysis

Description

Computes impact measure or how much the average distance in the network changes with that node removed of each node in a network (Please see and cite Kenett et al., 2011)

Usage

impact(A)

Arguments

A	An adjacency matrix of network data

Value

A vector of node impact values for each node in the network (impact > 0, greater ASPL when node is removed; impact < 0, lower ASPL when node is removed)
