Network Analysis

Closeness centrality can tell us how to find important nodes in a network. The important nodes could disseminate information to many nodes or prevent epidemics, or hubs in a transportaion network, etc.

In this post I will briefly share the connectivity related concepts and functions of clustering coefficient, distance measures, and connection robustness.

Networks is a set of objects (nodes) with interconnections (edges). Many complex structures can be represented by networks. It is everywhere in different forms. For example, family network, Facebook communication network, subway network, food web, etc.
