Prof. Katherine Ognyanova, Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at the School of Communication and Information, Rutgers University, and the author of the network analysis and visualization with R tutorial that we used, will be leading a workshop on network visualization.
The workshop will be on 28 Sep 2017, 1:40-5:00pm, in Wall 210.
This workshop will cover network visualization using the R language for statistical computing (cran.r-project.org) and RStudio (rstudio.com). Participants should have some prior knowledge of R and network concepts. The session will provide a brief overview of network formats, focusing on their structure and representation in key R packages. Attendees will also receive an introduction to major principles of graphics used in the R environment.
The workshop will provide a step-by-step guide describing (through series of examples) the path from raw data to graph visualization in the igraph and Statnet frameworks. The advanced portion of the workshop will touch on dynamic visualization for longitudinal networks and combining networks with geographic maps. We will also discuss ways of converting graphs in R to interactive JavaScript/3D-based visualizations for the Web.
