The phrase "a higher centrality" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to statistics, network analysis, or social sciences to describe a node or element that has greater importance or influence within a network.
Example: "In the social network analysis, individuals with a higher centrality often have more connections and play a crucial role in information dissemination."
Alternatives: "greater centrality" or "increased centrality".
When measuring the broadcasting ability of a node, linked nodes have a higher centrality or the centrality of nodes that are never broadcasting to any other nodes.
Therefore, a node with a larger degree, a higher centrality, and a smaller shortest path length will play a more important role in the network.
The plots allow immediately evidencing that proteins phosphorylated in threonine (Supplementary Fig. S8) or in tyrosine (Fig. 1 and Supplementary Fig. S1) have different topological position in the network with proteins phosphorylated in tyrosine showing a higher centrality values.
In a collaborative network, if an entity has a high centrality, it is considered the "central entity" and possesses and controls a great deal of research resource in the collaborative network.
Furthermore, this ESD actor in Alheim possesses a high centrality value according to quantitative SNA.
Nodes that have a high centrality are treated as a kind of "bridges" in its neighborhood, and the nodes of high similarity with the target node are potentially good neighbor nodes to find the destination node.
Yet, we note that most of the nodes at the first levels of the trees (which are selected by the tree construction algorithm), also manifest a high centrality value.
A high centrality value of the neighbors should result in a high centrality for the node under consideration.
As expected, only a few genes have a high centrality, which is a characteristic of scale-free networks.
For Cluster P3, on the other hand, high shortest paths are favored, combined with a high centrality (which was also observed in the supervised analysis).
This does not necessarily imply well connectedness in terms of degree; a low connected protein might still have a high centrality.
