I can imagine that these recommendations are based also on the types of items you bought yourself on Amazon. Moreover, I'm afraid that even opening Amazon's website without logging in Amazon personalizes the suggestions based on location from where you are connecting to the Internet etc. In a similar flavor Google search is personalized based on something like 50 characteristics even if you are not logged in.

It looks at more than just geodesics(shortest paths), which is what most academic measures are limited to. No other network software calculates this measure as far as I know. <br /><br />My clients have access to it. I use it along with some of the basic network metrics from academia (found in UCINET, InFlow, etc.).<br /><br />I am working on several network metrics, that IMHO, improve upon the std. academic set based on my experience with a large number and variety of SNA projects I have participated in.<br /><br />ValdisValdis Krebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00174954974731674870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5395205970500889785.post-71456782831552661982011-04-21T11:50:08.636-04:002011-04-21T11:50:08.636-04:00What are the "relative integration scores&quo...What are the "relative integration scores" mentioned here?
