Betweenness centrality

Betweenness Centrality is a measure used in network analysis to identify important points or nodes within a network, such as social relationships or internet connections. It quantifies how often a node acts as a bridge along the shortest paths between other nodes. A node with high betweenness centrality can control information flow and influence interactions, as many connections rely on it to link different groups. For example, in social networks, a person with high betweenness centrality might connect otherwise unconnected friends, highlighting their key role in communication and information sharing.
