I built a small test model and found the answers:
Closeness centrality of node A is based on the shortest path from A to other nodes in the network
Eigenvector centrality of node A is based on the importance of nodes (not sure which metric is used for importance) that supply into A, into A's supplier etc.
Overall, these definitions are surprising as closeness centrality will be correlated to outdegree whereas eigenvector centrality will be correlated to indegree. Not sure if that makes sense - any views on that?Statistics:Posted by Zapata — 01 Mar 2017 16:47
