Predicting Stability of Community Members in Complex Networks

In this work, we analyse and predict the stability of communities in complex networks. We use a variant of closeness centrality, known as profile closeness, to measure the loyalty of a member towards its community. We show that the profile closeness is an adequate indicator of how communities evolve in a network. We investigate this in static as well as dynamic (temporal) networks and establish the relevance of profile closeness in predicting the evolution of a complex network.
