Detecting Evolving Patterns of Self-Organizing Networks by Flow Hierarchy Measurement

Hierarchies occur widely in evolving self-organizing ecological, biological, technological and social networks, but detecting and comparing hierarchies is difficult. Here we present a metric and technique to quantitatively assess the extent to which self-organizing directed networks exhibit a flow h...
