Abstract
There are various organizations in modern society, in which people have direct and indirect relationships. Internal structure of these organizations can be analyzed by the relationships which are officially pressed on the media. However, this task will be difficult when the media information is strictly limited, though the necessity of analyzing organization structure remains. In this study, we try to estimate the influence of North Korea's core members by using PageRank centrality to supplement the limitation of previous SNA analysis methods. Experimental results show that we can show and predict NK's power shifts more efficiently.
