Weighted Eigenvector Centrality

Weighted eigenvector centrality extends the classic eigenvector centrality measure to graphs where edges carry numerical weights, scoring each node proportionally to the sum of its neighbors' scores multiplied by the connecting edge weights. Nodes score highly not just by having many connections but by being strongly linked to other influential nodes, making the measure sensitive to both tie strength and network position simultaneously.
