Mesoscopic centralityThe number of the shortest paths through a node
Proximity centralityThe proximity of a node to other nodes
Centrifugal centralityThe distance from a given starting node to the farthest node
Eigenvector centralityNumber and importance of neighbor nodes
Average neighbor degreeThe average of the degrees of all nodes
