Closeness Centrality

Closeness Centrality is a measure of how quickly a node, such as a person or a website, can reach all other nodes in a network. It calculates the average shortest distance from that node to every other node, indicating how efficiently it can spread information or influence throughout the network. A node with high closeness centrality is centrally located, enabling fast communication or transmission across the network. This measure helps identify key players who can quickly connect with others and facilitate efficient flow within the system.
