easygraph.functions.centrality.ego_betweenness.ego_betweenness(G, node)

ego networks are networks consisting of a single actor (ego) together with the actors they are connected to (alters) and all the links among those alters.[1] Burt (1992), in his book Structural Holes, provides ample evidence that having high betweenness centrality, which is highly correlated with having many structural holes, can bring benefits to ego.[1] Returns the betweenness centrality of a ego network whose ego is set

Parameters:

• G (graph) –

• node (int) –

Returns:

sum – the betweenness centrality of a ego network whose ego is set

Return type:

float

Examples

Returns the betwenness centrality of node 1.
