## Detailed Description

EccentricyMetric.h - Compute the eccentricity of each node.

This plugin compute the eccentricity of each node,

Eccentricity is the maximum distance to go from a node to all others. In this version the value is normalized (1 means that a node is in the center of the network, 0 means that a node is the more eccentric in the network).
