Using Centrality Metrics of Network Models to Understand, Predict, and Control Clinical Outcomes

Symposium · Friday, May 22, 2020 · 10:30 AM – 11:50 AM ET

Subject Area: Methodology

Network models in cross-sectional and time-series data often estimate the ‘centrality’ (i.e. interconnectedness) of nodes, based on the idea that central nodes are novel treatment targets. We discuss several empirical and methodological projects that determine if centrality guides understanding, predicting, and controlling of clinical outcomes, followed by a critical discussion.
