BUT you ARE using graph theory with the underlaying model. If your underlaying MODEL is FLAWED how do you expect to get RELIABLE data out of it? |

Totally agree with you.. right now that, on its own is not useful..I was hoping to collaborate with others who can help turn it into a cool (and accurate tool) for capsuleers...any takers? |

Look up the QAP permutation model which is also used by UCINET... testing for significance is an ESSENTIAL part of network modelling especially for stochastic methods...

Entirely missing the reason trade hubs become trade hubs (the network effect).
You can't derive any conclusions about "natural hubs" from your data or your pretty clicky web toy. What you can derive is that when you mash Data X through Process Y you get Result Z. Result Z might be pretty according to some people, but it is meaningless.
If you want to derive information about "natural hubs" you would need to demonstrate what you mean by that term, then produce some models to illustrate how your technique can locate these "natural hubs" and then apply that technique to the network of interest.
Relevant data that you haven't accounted for:
- Mission hubs (easy to find, look for NPC kills in last 24 hours)
- Production hubs (harder to find, look for volume of ore mined in last 24 hours, there are proxy values available)
- Industry hubs (look for S&I jobs completed in last 24h)
And then there's the network effect which you can't account for: everyone goes to Jita because everyone goes to Jita. That's as natural and organic a trade hub as you are ever going to find.

Your underlaying STRUCTURE of the Eve Universe "network" is INCORRECTLY MODELLED, your model does not reflect the system under analysis. |

Posting in a thread I have absolutely no idea what the OP was saying and even less so what these 3 are arguing about. But I can say it sounds like Miilla is having a bad day or something.
On the other hand, OP sounds like he's having fun. (though how any of that hubla dubla wada wada could be fun i dunno but more power to ya )
All I can say is, it looks pretty! |

Your response being "look up that book at page 2" is completely pointless. Most people in here, including myself, have no clue about what you are doing and we absolutely deserve that it is explained to us in a proper manner, considering that you want us to take you seriously. And that's what you want, else you wouldn't have posted.
Of course i do recognize that another reason is that you wanted attention, but I do not care about that.
So, instead of giving others reasons to make fun of you, which is then leading to you seriously giving them forevermore reason to rightfully make fun of you, prove that you can debunk their claims and actually know what you are talking about.
Thank you very much. |

You have problems, you are the only one spouting off about OMG FLAWS in his model. But you yourself have given no indiaction that you know better or that you have the education or intelligence to convey what needs to be done here.

No one really KNOWS what they're talking about when it comes to network science, including me, but that's not the point. Magna... I already acknowledged that the graph has two edges on each system when it only should be one (I think the second or third post), but because the analysis is structural and not statistical, centrality and network measures yield the same conclusions...they are based on the position of the planetary system, relative to other systems..just because the graph has two links instead of one for each jump does not change the analysis...
think of it as A = b x C where b is a scalar and C is a vector. The result, A, in this case, continues to be a vector regardless of the size or sign of b.
I already said the analysis is the same so I'm not sure what else you want... if you don't like my analysis, you are always welcome to post your own...thanks for your contribution. |

I admire the attempt to provide some investigation of the structure of the Eve universe and link it to matters like gate camping and appropriate trade hubs.
However this analysis does not seem to provide much for Trade Hubs.
Oursalaert III is the largest of the 2nd rank trade hubs (ie 6th overall) yet has a relatively small EVC value and on the face of it ought to be a classic candidate for your proposition given that networking and word of mouth drag most off to the largest hubs, theoretically leaving more structural effects to be shown in the 2nd rank hubs.
The 7th largest hub VFK-IV has a tiny EVC, but presumably also suffers from popularity due popularity's sake.

Good job op at attempting to unravel the graph network a bit. It will take a lot more work to extract new and useful things, though.
Ignore the obvious troll in the thread. Just because a gate doesn't have a specific "direction" associated with it does not in any way mean that displaying data in the form of a digraph is not appropriate. Trade and motion naturally has a flow, and thus is naturally better presented in the form of a digraph.
Keep it up, OP. |

Fun fact, Miilla: a directed graph where both directions are weighted equally is, by definition, an undirected graph. |

I agree with your sentiment, but technically this isn't true as stated. They are isomorphic, but they are not exactly "equal" in any rough sense as one of the structures has extra ornaments attached, and the other does not. |

I don't know what's crawled up Miilla's ass that made them what to troll the thread, but don't feed the troll I guess.
Daeniika's absolutely right that an undirected graph is a special subclass of digraphs (to be precise, it is a symmetric (all arcs have a matching return arc) unweighted (all arcs have equal weight) digraph).
Having the digraphs features available may yet turn out to be useful if you wish to use the asymmetric weighting. For example, you may wish to take in the average distance between stargates if you get that data available (especially considering the recent changes to warp speeds) or even map them all the warps and jumps individually (probably best to collect the distances and calculate time to warp for weighting based on the ship type).
It is most curious that the regions closely align with the regions CCP chose. Given that the recent blog on balancing the universe they disclosed that the constellation used to be the atom of node balancing and that a region is a collection of constellations, you're quite right that they probably did some similar static analysis (lacking any real data) wh |

Jita is quite good location as it does have access to several different region just within two jumps. When you think about how EVE market works, this is quite important.
You want to price check several regions? There are three more just two jumps away. |
