  In general, Centrality indices focus on outLinks (choices given) while Prestige indices consider inLinks (choices received).
  Added 3 Prestige indices (Degree, Proximity and PageRank), new reachability measures (Walks, Connectedness, and Reachability Matrix) and fixed a slew of bugs in indices calculation. 
  All algorithms are now tested to report 100% correct results.
