Directions

  1. Locate a table on any website that (a) includes relational data and (b) you have to scrape using rvest1

  2. Construct

  1. three plots of the data using any three centrality measures and patch them together. Make sure that you interpret what the plot is telling you and that you can justify the comparisons.

  2. two plots as ego networks and patch them together Make sure that you interpret what the plot is telling you and that you can justify the comparison.

  3. convert one pick into a Viznetwork2

  1. Please post
  • the three comparative plots as a single pdf or png file
  • the two ego networks as a single pdf or png file
  • the Viznetwork as a working ‘.html’ file
  • a copy of your script as a .R or .Rmd file
