Leo Katz (statistician)

Leo Katz (29 November 1914 in Detroit – 6 May 1976) was an American statistician. Katz largely contributed to the area of Social Network Analysis. In 1953, he introduced a centrality measure named Katz centrality that computes the degree of influence of an actor in a social network. The computation already outlined the algorithm today known as PageRank.[1]
