voterank¶
- voterank(G, number_of_nodes=None)[source]¶
Select a list of influential nodes in a graph using VoteRank algorithm
VoteRank [1] computes a ranking of the nodes in a graph G based on a voting scheme. With VoteRank, all nodes vote for each of its in-neighbours and the node with the highest votes is elected iteratively. The voting ability of out-neighbors of elected nodes is decreased in subsequent turns.
Note: We treat each edge independently in case of multigraphs.
- Parameters
- Ggraph
A NetworkX graph.
- number_of_nodesinteger, optional
Number of ranked nodes to extract (default all nodes).
- Returns
- voteranklist
Ordered list of computed seeds. Only nodes with positive number of votes are returned.
