All Implemented Interfaces:

IterativeContext

public class BetweennessCentrality<V,E>
extends AbstractRanker<V,E>

Computes betweenness centrality for each vertex and edge in the graph. The result is that each vertex and edge has a UserData element of type MutableDouble whose key is 'centrality.BetweennessCentrality'. Note: Many social network researchers like to normalize the betweenness values by dividing the values by (n-1)(n-2)/2. The values given here are unnormalized.

A simple example of usage is:

 BetweennessCentrality ranker = new BetweennessCentrality(someGraph);
 ranker.evaluate();
 ranker.printRankings();
 

Running time is: O(n^2 + nm).
