load_centrality(G, v=None, cutoff=None, normalized=True, weighted_edges=False)

Compute load centrality for nodes.

The fraction of number of shortests paths that go through each node counted according to the algorithm in Scientific collaboration networks: II. Shortest paths, weighted networks, and centrality, M. E. J. Newman, Phys. Rev. E 64, 016132 (2001).

This actually computes ‘load’ which is slightly diferent than betweenness.

Returns a dictionary of betweenness values keyed by node. The betweenness is normalized to be between [0,1].

If normalized=False the resulting betweenness is not normalized.

If weighted_edges is True then use Dijkstra for finding shortest paths.
