Abstract
This paper examines a simple definition of power as a composite centrality being the composition of eigenvector centrality and edge betweeness. Various centralities related to the composition are compared on social and collaboration networks. A derived defection score for social fission scenarios is introduced and is demonstrated in Zachary’s Karate club to predict the sole defection in terms of network measures rather than psychological factors. In a network of political power in Mexico across various periods, the two definitions of power serve to shed light on a political power transition between two groups.
