From: Towards a network theory of regulatory burden

Network measure

Definition

Total degree centrality

The sum of a node’s out-degree centrality (row sum) and in-degree centrality (column sum)

Ego betweenness centrality

The betweenness score of a node within its own ego network (includes the node itself, its immediate neighbors, and all links between them)

Eigenvector centrality

Calculates the central eigenvector of the adjacency matrix; a node is central to the extent that its neighbors are central

Effective network size

The effective size of a node’s ego network based on redundancy of ties

Triad count

The number of distinct triads associated with a node

Clique count

The number of distinct clique associated with a node
