21 A2_Project Prospectus
The final project is to provide an exploratory analysis report on a network of your choice. This report will have three parts, transformation, visualization, and analysis. This assignment is designed to get you thinking about your final project. Follow the steps in this assignment and turn in a prospectus on your project.
21.0.1 Part 1. Explore possible sources of data
A. Visit the Github repo.
B. Look through the sources of data I have collected for you and pick at least two. Please read the info.txt file for each data file to understand the networks that are there.
C. In your prospectus, write a paragraph describing the networks that you are considering using for your project. Consider: How are they structured? What constitutes the nodes/edges?
D. (Optional) If you are interested in using your own data (i.e. collecting your own, or finding other data elsewhere), then discuss this IN ADDITION to selecting two potential datasets in the folder.
21.0.2 Part 2.
A. Write a paragraph discussing ideas for visualisation and analysis that you may do using these data. Consider what you are interested in – communities, individuals, describing the network itself?
21.0.3 Part 3.
A. Use the code you have learned so far in class to:
Bring your at least one of your data choices into RStudio
Convert it into a network object
Plot your network
Save the image of your network and attach it to the page. (see the picture below on how).
