Hi,
I'm doing my research on social network, and big thanks for NodeXL to make it so helpful.
In my research, I've been calculating the eigenvector centrality in different tools(not NodeXL, and the direction of individual edges is taken into account). I want to make sure that my calculation is true and valid. I had compared the two results, my calculation and the result of eigenvector centrality in NodeXL. I noticed there was a difference.
I've been searching the discussion about calculating eigenvector centrality in this forum discussion. The point that i got was "The graph's directedness is ignored when calculating PageRank, closeness centrality and eigenvector centrality."
My question is :
i) Is it still possible in NodeXL to count eigenvector centrality while the direction of individual edges is taken into account for the centrality calculations, in particular for eigenvector centrality?
ii) Does the latest version of NodeXL could make the above condition happen?
Thank you,
Doddy
