Week 4

Part 1

Choose one of your earlier networks. First mark the top three important nodes by just looking at it. Then calculate the betweenness centrality of those three nodes. Are they same?

Part 2

Remove nodes or edges that are strategically important. Recalculate the betweenness centrality and highlight the differences compared to the first state.

Part 3

Merge your network with a friend's network (in the same canvas). Your networks should be conceptually related. Find the most and the least central nodes, highlight the shortest path between them.
