Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Complex network analysis has been actively pursued to investigate the characteristics of large-scale complex networks. Graphs used for complex network analysis generally contain several types of noises. Hence, investigating the effects of noises on centrality measures and also validating the accuracy of centrality measures used in complex network analyses is one of the important research topics in the area of complex networks. To clarify the accuracy of the centrality measures, we address a research question: how can we estimate the robustness of centrality measures in a graph from topological structure of the graph? We focus on graph entropy as a possible measure for estimating the robustness of centrality measures. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the effectiveness of graph entropy for estimating the robustness of centrality measures. Consequently, we show that (1) the graph entropy is useful for estimating the robustness of four types of centrality measures against noises due to random addition and deletion of nodes and links, and (2) the graph entropy is useful for estimating the robustness of four types of popular centrality measures (i.e., closeness, betweenness, degree, and eigenvector centralities).
