Method evidence record

Weighted Betweenness Centrality

Weighted Betweenness Centrality extends Freeman's betweenness measure to edge-weighted graphs by routing shortest paths through a tunable transformation of edge weights. Nodes that sit on many high-value shortest paths receive high scores, identifying brokers and bridges in social, biological, and information networks where tie strength matters.
