Question

Describe the structure of a network in which the following situations occur. Provide a graphical representation for each case.

– A node has high degree centrality and low betweenness centrality

– A node has high closeness centrality and low degree centrality

Answer 1

Degree centrality is a simple calculation of the total number of connections connected to a vertex.It can be considered as a measure of popularity of a type, but a crude oil that does not recognize the difference between quantity and quality. A degree is the measure of the total number of edges associated with a particular vertex. For directed networks, there are two measures of degree. In-degree is the number of connections that point inward at a vertex. Out-degree is the number of connections that originate at a vertex and point outward to other vertices. Degree is the measure of the total number of edges connected to a particular vertex. For directed networks where relationships have an origin and a destination rather than have mutual connections, there are two measures of degree: in-degree and out-degree.
