Hubbell Index


Definition

Chubbell=E+WChubbell

Where E is some exogeneous input and W is a weight matrix derived from the adjancancy matrix A. [HUBBELL, C. H. 1965]

This centrality value is defined by means of a weighted and loop allowed network. The weighted adjacency matrix W of a network G is asymmetric and contains real-valued weights for each edge.
where W = (wij) is the n×n adjacency matrix of the network. The column vector CH is the pattern of status scores (s1, s2, . . . , sn), and the column vector E is the pattern of exogenous inputs (e1, e2, . . . , en). The latter are often referred to as the boundary conditions of the system. If the boundary condition is unknown, E = Hubbell Index may be used. The solution CH of the above equation is termed Hubbell centrality or the Hubbell Index. [ZHANG, A. 2009]

Requirements

Require connected and loop free network.

Comments

HI, thank you for sharing all these good stuffs.  

When I calculate Hubbell index for a 176*176 weighted and directed nework, I have a following error message'

"Error in ev > 1 : invalid comparison with complex values". Could you tell me what this means?

Thnak you in advance

Joon
