[docs]@not_implemented_for('directed') def current_flow_closeness_centrality(G, weight=None, dtype=float, solver='lu'): """Compute current-flow closeness centrality for nodes. Current-flow closeness centrality is variant of closeness centrality based on effective resistance between nodes in a network. This metric is also known as information centrality. Parameters ---------- G : graph A NetworkX graph. weight : None or string, optional (default=None) If None, all edge weights are considered equal. Otherwise holds the name of the edge attribute used as weight. dtype: data type (default=float) Default data type for internal matrices. Set to np.float32 for lower memory consumption. solver: string (default='lu') Type of linear solver to use for computing the flow matrix. Options are "full" (uses most memory), "lu" (recommended), and "cg" (uses least memory). Returns ------- nodes : dictionary Dictionary of nodes with current flow closeness centrality as the value. See Also -------- closeness_centrality Notes ----- The algorithm is from Brandes [1]_. See also [2]_ for the original definition of information centrality. References ---------- ..
