centr_betw_comm: Calculate communicability betweenness centrality

In brainGraph: Graph Theory Analysis of Brain MRI Data

Description

centr_betw_comm calculates the communicability betweenness of the vertices of a graph. The centrality for vertex r is

ω_r = \frac{1}{C} ∑_p ∑_q \frac{(e^{\mathbf{A}})_{pq} - (e^{\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{E}(r)})_{pq}}{(e^{\mathbf{A}})_{pq}}

where C = (n - 1)^2 - (n - 1) is a normalization factor.

Usage

centr_betw_comm(g, A = NULL)

Arguments

g	An igraph graph object
A	Numeric matrix; the adjacency matrix of the input graph. Default: NULL

Value

A numeric vector of the centrality for each vertex
