IDENTIFYING INFLUENTIAL NODES IN DIRECTED WEIGHTED NETWORKS USING PYTHAGOREAN FUZZY SETS

· 0 citations · 33 references

TL;DR

A new centrality metric called Node Pack Fuzzy Information Centrality (NPFIC), which suggests that crucial information about a node's significance can be derived from the internal structure of its pack and is compared with four established centrality measures.

Comparing Probabilistic Influence-Spreading Centralities to Commonly-Used Centrality Measures in Directed and Weighted Networks

Comparing the ISM centrality measures to commonly used weighted variants of out-degree, in-degree, closeness, shortest-path betweenness, and Katz centrality in directed, weighted networks shows strong correlations between the ISM out-centrality and weighted out-degree and outward Katz centrality, particularly for low e...

K-Core Neighborhood Density: Mixing Local and Global Features for Influential Node Detection

Experimental results in seven complex networks of the real world show that the proposed hybrid centrality called k-core neighborhood density (KND) remarkably balances rank distribution and accuracy, and the identified influential nodes have a superior ability to spread their influence over a wide area of a network.

An Evaluation Method for Influential Nodes Based on Multi-Attribute Neighbor Contributions in Complex Networks

WKDH fuses local structural attributes with global structural attributes via a multiplicative weighted synergy model, simultaneously capturing local connection “quantity,” local connection “quality,” and global core-layer position, and achieves linear computational complexity of O(m).
