Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The core/periphery structure is ubiquitous in network studies. The discrete version of the concept is that individuals in a group belong to either the core, which has a high density of ties, or to the periphery, which has a low density of ties. The density of ties beten the core and the periphery may be either high or low. If the core/periphery structure is given a priori, then there is no problem in finding a suitable statistical test. Often, hover, the structure is not given, which presents us with two problems, searching for the optimal core/periphery structure, and devising a valid statistical test to replace the one invalidated by the search. UCINET (Borgatti, Everett, and Freeman, 2002), the oldest and most trusted network program, gives incorrect ansrs in some simple cases for the first problem and does not address the second.  solves both problems with an adaptation of the Kernighan-Lin search algorithm, and with a permutation test incorporating this algorithm.
