In geomnet: Network Visualization in the 'ggplot2' Framework

Description

A list of two datasets, vertices and edges, containing data on boys' soccer games at Iowa high schools in the 2011-2014 seasons. This dataset was compiled by Danny Bero ([e-mail]). The variables are as follows:

Usage

soccer

Format

A list of two data frames:

• the edges data set consists of 11 variables of length 4484:

  • sub: Integer variable with the subregion of the state the school is in (1-8)

  • home: Factor variable containing the home team school

  • season: Integer variable with the year the game was played

  • week: Integer variable with the week of the season the game was played

  • date: Factor variable containing the date the game was played

  • away: Factor variable containing the away team school

  • ha: Factor variable stating if the first team is the home team, away team, or neutral?

  • result: Factor variable stating if the home team won, lost, or tied?

  • score: Factor variable with game final score, home team first

  • diff: Integer variable with home team score minus away team score

  • same_div: An indicator variable that is 1 if the schools are in the same division and 0 otherwise

• the vertices data set consists of two variables with information on 157 schools:

  • div: Factor variable with division school is in (1, 2, or 3A)

  • label: Factor variable with school name

Examples

# prep the data
soccernet <- merge(soccer$edges, soccer$vertices, by.x = "home",
                   by.y = "label", all = TRUE)
library(geomnet)
library(dplyr)
# create plot
ggplot(data = soccernet, aes(from_id = home, to_id = away)) +
  geom_net(aes(colour = div, group = div), ealpha = .25,
           layout.alg = 'fruchtermanreingold') +
  facet_wrap(~season) +
  theme_net()
