Inngradsentralitet

Inngradsentralitet is a concept used in network analysis to measure the importance of a node within a network. It is calculated based on the number of connections a node has to other nodes that are themselves central. In essence, a node with high inngradsentralitet is connected to other highly influential nodes in the network. This differs from simple degree centrality, which only counts the total number of connections. Inngradsentralitet considers the quality and influence of those connections. A node with many connections to less important nodes might have a low inngradsentralitet, while a node with fewer connections to very important nodes could have a high inngradsentralitet. This metric is particularly useful in understanding how information or influence flows through a network, identifying key intermediaries or influential individuals who are well-connected to other powerful players. Applications can be found in social network analysis, organizational studies, and even in understanding the spread of diseases or the structure of the internet.
