This document discusses quantifying hierarchy in complex networks. It begins by providing examples of hierarchical structures in the brain, mental lexicon, gene regulation and food webs. It then outlines requirements for measuring hierarchy, such as being based on global topology. It introduces Random Walk Hierarchy as a measure that meets these requirements. Random Walk Hierarchy tracks how information spreads through random walks on the network. The more a network resembles a hierarchy, the more information will converge on root nodes. The measure is applied to different network structures and real-world examples.
