es.uam.eps.ir.relison.sna.metrics.distance.vertex.Closeness<U>

es.uam.eps.ir.relison.sna.metrics.distance.vertex.HarmonicCentrality<U>

Type Parameters:

U - Type of the users.

All Implemented Interfaces:

VertexMetric<U>

public class HarmonicCentrality<U>
extends Closeness<U>

Metric that computes the harmonic centrality of the nodes (a version of closeness that uses the harmonic mean of the distances from the target node to the rest of nodes in the network.
