- def harmonic_centrality(G, nbunch=None, distance=None, sources=None):
- r"""Compute harmonic centrality for nodes.
- Harmonic centrality [1]_ of a node `u` is the sum of the reciprocal
- of the shortest path distances from all other nodes to `u`
- .. math::
- C(u) = \sum_{v \neq u} \frac{1}{d(v, u)}
- where `d(v, u)` is the shortest-path distance between `v` and `u`.
- If `sources` is given as an argument, the returned harmonic centrality
- values are calculated as the sum of the reciprocals of the shortest
- path distances from the nodes specified in `sources` to `u` instead
- of from all nodes to `u`.
- Notice that higher values indicate higher centrality.
- Parameters
- ----------
- G : graph
- A NetworkX graph
- nbunch : container (default: all nodes in G)
- Container of nodes for which harmonic centrality values are calculated.
- sources : container (default: all nodes in G)
- Container of nodes `v` over which reciprocal distances are computed.
- Nodes not in `G` are silently ignored.
- distance : edge attribute key, optional (default=None)
- Use the specified edge attribute as the edge distance in shortest
- path calculations. If `None`, then each edge will have distance equal to 1.
- Returns
- -------
- nodes : dictionary
- Dictionary of nodes with harmonic centrality as the value.
- See Also
- --------
- betweenness_centrality, load_centrality, eigenvector_centrality,
- degree_centrality, closeness_centrality
- Notes
- -----
- If the 'distance' keyword is set to an edge attribute key then the
- shortest-path length will be computed using Dijkstra's algorithm with
- that edge attribute as the edge weight.
