Bayesian Centrality

This model extends the popular eigenvector-based measure by considering centralities as latent attributes that are constrained by the eigenvector centrality relation. By treating centrality estimation as probabilistic latent variable inference, this approach directly addresses the problem of uncertainty when inferring node importance and permits principled assimilation of repeated weight observations.
