SNTTT Session V: Dr. Lani Haque and Eigenvector Centrality
Thank to Lani and everyone who came last night.
We had about 12 people. I asked Lani to come on short notice and she was happy to come along to answer any math questions that would come up. Given the number of people that couldn’t make it, I was surprised. If people hadn’t have been so busy we would have had a fairly large group.
I went through a paper on Centrality and Aids and also we all shared a few anecdotes. http://www.analytictech.com/networks/centaids.htm
This paper is quite convincing to me that Eigenvector Centrality is a measure of something useful. Of course there is all the argument about how you model a network. (What is a tie etc.)
There is another article I mentioned on Scale Free Networks from Scientific American. It’s mentioned earlier in this Blog.
