LTR - Linear Threshold Rank
Definition
Linear Threshold Rank (LTR) is a new centrality measure based on the linear threshold model, which is defined for each actor as the number of nodes that can be spread when he/she forms an initial activation with his/her neighbors. Linear Threshold Rank defined as fallows:
$$LTR(i)={|f(\{i\} \cup neighbors (i ))| \over n}$$
were $neighbors(i)= \{j \in V |(i,j) \in E \vee (j,i)\in E \}$. And $f$ is a labeling function that quantifies how easily influenceable each actor is. An actor $i \in V$ exerts influence over another actor $j \in V$ if and only if $( i, j ) \in E$. $V$ is the set of actors and $E$ is the set of edges of graph $G$.
Totally it determines to what extent the entire network has a centralized structure
