Stratified communities in complex business networks
In this work, we propose a measure that aims at assessing the position of a node
with respect to the interconnected groups of nodes existing in a network. In
particular, since the nodes of a network can be placed at different distances from
cohesive groups, we extend the standard concept of clustering coefficient and
provide the local l-adjacency clustering coefficient of a node i as an opportunely
weighted mean of the clustering coefficients of nodes which are at distance l
