Several metrics are used in SNA to quantify the importance of nodes and the overall structure of the network. Some of the key metrics include:
1. Degree Centrality: The number of direct connections a node has. 2. Betweenness Centrality: The extent to which a node lies on the shortest path between other nodes. 3. Closeness Centrality: The average length of the shortest path from a node to all other nodes in the network. 4. Eigenvector Centrality: A measure of the influence of a node in the network, taking into account the influence of its neighbors.
