Betweenness centrality associates with each node v, the two
nodes u, w, for which the shortest path between u and w runs through v, if
the tree were re-rooted at node v. Then, we report the node with maximum
betweenness centrality.
Usage
max_betweenness(phy, normalization = "none")
Arguments
- phy
phylo object or ltable
- normalization
"none" or "tips", if tips is chosen, the obtained
maximum betweenness is normalized by the total amount of node pair
combinations considered, e.g. (n-2)*(n-1), where n is the number of tips.
Value
Maximum Betweenness
