Abstract
We propose a composite centrality measure for general weighted and directed complex networks, based on measure standardisation and statistical normalization, whereby the composite measure is expected to follow a standard log-normal distribution. This offers a natural and absolute scale to measure node and edge centralities for complex networks. Considering snapshots of the world trade web, we demonstrate its working and introduce a standard set-up.
