The exceptions are betweenness (25% larger) and eigenvector centrality (10% larger).

Ned’s values are more than 30% larger than the runner-up in four out of six measures. It comes as no surprise that Ned Stark tops all seven centrality measures. In later books, the community structures are more pronounced and distinct. Given the focus on the Starks, we discover a network that is quite interconnected. This first volume follows the fracturing of the Stark family, both geographically and personally. We also note that there are quite a few edges between communities. The second triangle contains three sons from the bounty of progeny of Walder Frey. The first consists of the Night’s Watchmen from the prologue. There are also two three-person communities. Tyrion is the center for the mountain clans, while Catelyn is the center for the Tully bannerman. The Riverlands community has a distinctive structure: each of Tyrion and Catelyn act a hub for a distinct subset of the community.
