TL;DR
A way of comparing ego networks through examining patterns among their ties is introduced, derived from graph-theoretic ideas about centered graphs.
Abstract
A way of comparing ego networks through examining patterns among their ties is introduced. It is derived from graph-theoretic ideas about centered graphs. An illustration using data from a computer conference is provided.

A family of new measures of point and graph centrality based on early intuitions of Bavelas (1948) is introduced, used to index centrality in any large or small network of symmetrical relations, whether connected or unconnected.
