Source rank metric of measuring sources of influence

Abstract:

A method implements a source rank metric of measuring sources of influence. The method includes processing transactions to generate a graph. The method further includes processing the graph to select nodes. A node is identified as one or more of a source node and a destination node of an edge of the graph. The method further includes processing source ranks, of the nodes, to update the source ranks. A source rank is calculated using a subset of indegree values and a subset of outdegree edges. The method further presenting identifiers, of multiple entities represented by the nodes, sorted using the source ranks.
