Wouldn't betwenness centrality be better?
Think of an army randomly moving through your citation graph; the more particularly nodes are trampled over, the more pagerank it has.
Now: if this army is informed about the shortest routes and instead moves about optimally, the most-trampled over places have higher betweenness centrality. I'd like my simulated citing scientist to be smart.
- carbocation 5y agoI've tried applying PageRank to pubmed with reasonable results, but betweenness does sound compelling. Thanks!
- prionassembly 5y agoI'll give you a bonus: the Louvain algorithm for community detection. Whatever ships with Networkx, Gephi, etc. doesn't work for my (correlation-derived, pruned with graphical lasso) networks, but the Louvain method (a greedy approximation to modularity maximization; the real math magic is in the concept of modularity and the configuration model) is awesome.
- carbocation 5y agoInteresting. We use Louvain for single nucleus sequencing cell type identification. Cool to think about its other applications. Thanks for sharing.
