Influence Scores
Network-based influence metrics for federal donors and candidates.
Influence scores combine multiple network centrality measures to identify the most connected and impactful actors in the campaign finance network. Weighted Degree is the total dollar amount of connections. Degree is the number of unique connections. PageRank measures importance based on the quality of connections (similar to Google's algorithm). Influence Score is a composite of all three.
