Approximates the current-flow betweenness centrality within absolute error of epsilon with high probability [1]_. Parameters ---------- G : graph A NetworkX graph normalized : bool, optional (default=True) If True the betweenness values are normalized by 2/[(n-1)(n-2)] where n is the number of nodes in G. weight : string or None, optional (default=None) Key for edge data used as the edge weight. If None, then use 1 as each edge weight. dtype : data type (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). epsilon: float Absolute error tolerance. kmax: int Maximum number of sample node pairs to use for approximation. seed : integer, random_state, or None (default) Indicator of random number generation state. See :ref:`Randomness<randomness>`. Returns ------- nodes : dictionary Dictionary of nodes with betweenness centrality as the value. See Also -------- current_flow_betweenness_centrality Notes ----- The running time is $O((1/\epsilon^2)m{\sqrt k} \log n)$ and the space required is $O(m)$ for $n$ nodes and $m$ edges.
