"""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.
