Comparison Between Centrality Measures for a Network Based on Cascading Nature of Nodes

Cascading nature of nodes is very important to study the diffusion of information and commodity across networks. Centrality measures are generally used to address cascading behaviors of nodes. This article applies four centrality measures namely, degree, betweenness, closeness, and coreness centrality for modeling of cascading. The results of centrality measures are then compared with an independent simulated cascade model. The simulation result shows coreness centrality to be the best measure for cascade modeling in networks.
