Centrality Measures: A Tool to Identify Key Actors in Social Networks
Experts from several disciplines have been widely using centrality measures
for analyzing large as well as complex networks. These measures rank
nodes/edges in networks by quantifying a notion of the importance of
nodes/edges. Ranking aids in identifying important and crucial actors in
networks. In this chapter, we summarize some of the centrality measures that
are extensively applied for mining social network data. We also discuss various
directions of research related to these measures
