[R] Network Analysis
bchaney
Hi,
I am working on a project to understand the linkages between various
websites. My data currently looks like the following:
Variables:
Website
referral_site_1
referral_site_2
...
destination_site_1
destination_site_2
...
The values in these fields are just websites. So for every website in the
first column, I have the top referral and destination websites.
I'd like to do some strength of linkage work for the initial sites (those
just in website field), and then the network as a whole.
I have been researching some various R packages for this, but would love to
get some input/advice if there are a couple of packages/functions that are
particularly appropriate.
Thanks,
--

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I would really appreciate any
insights/suggestions that the group could provide.

I did not do sophisticated analyzes, but my opinion is that igraph
is easier to use and more versatile than statnet. It is also more
capable of dealing with big networks. The only issue with igraph
functions is that we have to remember that the indexes start at 0
and not 1 as all other R functions. The default igraph plots are
very simple, but it is easy to add attributes to an igraph object
to make nice graphics.
