Class AlphaCentrality<V,​E>

  • Type Parameters:
    V - the graph vertex type
    E - the graph edge type
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    VertexScoringAlgorithm<V,​Double>

    public final class AlphaCentrality<V,​E>
    extends Object
    implements VertexScoringAlgorithm<V,​Double>
    AlphaCentrality implementation.

    The wikipedia article contains a nice description of AlphaCentrality. You may also refer to this paper describing the implementation of the algorithm.

    To implement EigenVector Centrality, call AlphaCentrality by passing the value of exogenous factor as zero. Further description of EigenVector Centrality can be found in wikipedia. To implement Katz Centrality, call AlphaCentrality by passing a non-zero scalar exogenous factor value. Further description of Katz Centrality can be found in wikipedia.

    This is a simple iterative implementation of AlphaCentrality which stops after a given number of iterations or if the AlphaCentrality values between two iterations do not change more than a predefined value.

    Each iteration of the algorithm runs in linear time O(n+m) when n is the number of nodes and m the number of edges of the graph. The maximum number of iterations can be adjusted by the caller. The default value is MAX_ITERATIONS_DEFAULT. Also in case of weighted graphs, negative weights are not expected.
