Abstract

In recent research, the importance of determining social network users’ spreading influence and ranking them has attracted plenty of attention. H-index is one of the methods that have been presented for this purpose, and determines the spreading capability of a node based on the degrees of its neighbors. In this method, part of the information on the neighbors is disregarded, which reduces ranking accuracy. In this paper, a measure is presented for specification of the centrality of nodes through extension of the H-index notion. The results of experimentation over real-world and artificial datasets demonstrate that the proposed measure exhibits higher accuracy and efficiency than in the other compared methods.
