<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom:0" class="asd_par">
<b>mcx ctty</b> computes betweenness centrality for all nodes or all edges in a graph, using
the between centrality update algorithm from <a class="intern" href="#fabc">[1]</a>.
The program is not yet able to take into account edge weights.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0" class="asd_par">
The input graph/matrix, if specified with the <b>-imx</b> option, has to
be in mcl matrix/graph format. You can use label input instead by using the
<b>-abc</b> option.
Refer to <a class="local sibling" href="mcxio.html">mcxio</a> for a description of these two input formats.
By default <b>mcx diameter</b> reads from STDIN <i>and expects matrix format</i>.
To specify label input from STDIN use <b>-abc</b> <b>-</b>.</p>

<div class=" item_text " style="margin-left:2em">

<div class=" item_text " style="margin-left:2em">
<p style="margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em">
This option will lead to different results. Results
will still be informative however, being representative for
the local context in which nodes reside. It does probably not make
sense to use values smaller than four or five.
</p>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:0em"> </div><div class=" item_cascade"><div class=" item_leftalign nowrap " ><a name="opt--edge"></a><b>--edge</b> (<i>compute edge betweenness centrality</i>)</div></div>
<div class=" item_text " style="margin-left:2em">
<p style="margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em">
The output will be a matrix rather than a labeled list of values.
If the program is split into multiple jobs with the <b>-j</b>
and <b>-J</b> options, the resulting outputs have to be collated
using <tt>mcx collect --add-matrix</tt> followed by the respective
output file names for each of the jobs.
</p>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:0em"> </div><div class=" item_cascade"><div class=" item_leftalign nowrap " ><a name="opt-tab"></a><b>-tab</b> <fname> (<i>use tab file</i>)</div></div>
<div class=" item_text " style="margin-left:2em">
<p style="margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em">
This option causes the output to be printed with the labels
found in the tab file.
With <b>-abc</b> this option will, additionally, construct
a graph only on the labels found in the tab file.
If this option is used in conjunction with <b>-imx</b> the
tab domain and the matrix domain are required to be identical.

<div class=" item_text " style="margin-left:2em">
<p style="margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em">
Computing centrality scores in a graph is time-intensive
for large graphs. If you have multiple CPUs available consider using as
many threads. Additionally it is possible to spread the computation over
multiple jobs/machines.
These three options are described in the <a class="local sibling" href="clmprotocols.html">clmprotocols</a> manual page.
The following set of options, if given to as many commands, defines three jobs, each running four threads.
</p>
<div class="verbatim">-t 4 -J 3 -j 0 -o out.0
-t 4 -J 3 -j 1 -o out.1
-t 4 -J 3 -j 2 -o out.2</div>
<p style="margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em">
For node centrality (the default mode) the output can then be collected with
</p>
<div class="verbatim">mcx collect --add-column -o out.all out.[0-2]</div>
<p style="margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em">
For edge centrality (invoked with <b>--edge</b>) the output should be collected with
</p>
<div class="verbatim">mcx collect --add-matrix -o out.all out.[0-2]</div>
<p style="margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em">
This collection step is only necessary if the <b>-J</b> was used
with a value greater than one. In particular, if threads were used
but jobs were not, there will be a single output corresponding to
the end result.
