Directed Eigenvector Centrality/Evidence
Method evidence record

Directed Eigenvector Centrality

Directed eigenvector centrality extends the classic eigenvector centrality to directed graphs by scoring each node according to the centrality of the nodes that point to it (in-direction) or that it points to (out-direction). A node earns a high score not merely by having many connections but by being connected to other highly central nodes, capturing asymmetric influence in citation networks, social hierarchies, and information flows.
