Performance of IVI in Comparison with 14 Other Current Methods in Practice
The average area under the curve (AUC) of 15 different influential node identification methods across ten interrogated networks. The size of the points on the top of the bars corresponds to the ranking of the influential node identification methods based on their average AUC values; the higher (first) ranked methods have larger point sizes and vice versa. CC, closeness centrality; CR, ClusterRank; CI, collective influence; DC, degree centrality; EC, eccentricity centrality; Eg, eigenvector centrality; IVI, Integrated Value of Influence; KC, Katz centrality; Kl, Kleinberg's hub centrality score; MCC, maximal clique centrality; PR, PageRank; ROC, receiver operating characteristics.
