Calculates escape velocity centrality (normal and extended version)

Description

Calculates escape velocity centrality (EVC/evc) and extended escape velocity centrality (EVC+/evc.plus) of all vertices in the network under study.

Usage

evc(g, alpha = 1, mode = "all")

Arguments

g

An igraph graph object.

alpha

A tunable factor with value between 0.1 to 1. The default value of alpha is 1.

mode

The type of the core in a graph. Character constant with possible values - ‘in’: in-cores are computed, ‘out’: out-cores are computed, ‘all’: the corresponding undirected graph is considered. This argument is only for directed graphs.

Value

A list of two vectors: (1) evc, containing the values of EVC and (2) evc.plus, the values of EVC+ of each vertex in the network.
