Packages for Network Analysis

After data has been imported and tidied, it needs to be structured so that relationships can be analysed.

The following packages should be installed and loaded:

install.packages("sna")      # provides additional social network analysis measures
install.packages("igraph")   # provides functions for analysing network structures
install.packages("tidygraph")  # for working with network data in a tidy format

These packages will be used later in the training to:

analyse relationships between nodes
calculate basic network measures
prepare data for visualisation
