Modifying tie data

Description

These functions allow users to add and delete ties and their attributes:

• add_ties() adds additional ties to network data

• delete_ties() deletes ties from network data

• add_tie_attribute() and mutate_ties() offer ways to add a vector of values to a network as a tie attribute.

• rename_ties() renames tie attributes.

• bind_ties() appends the tie data from two networks and join_ties() merges ties from two networks, adding a tie attribute identifying the newly added ties.

• filter_ties() subsets ties based on some tie attribute-related logical statement.

Note that while ⁠add_*()⁠/⁠delete_*()⁠ functions operate similarly as comparable {igraph} functions, ⁠mutate*()⁠, ⁠bind*()⁠, etc work like {tidyverse} or {dplyr}-style functions.

Usage

add_ties(.data, ties, attribute = NULL)

delete_ties(.data, ties)

add_tie_attribute(.data, attr_name, vector)

mutate_ties(.data, ...)

rename_ties(.data, ...)

arrange_ties(.data, ...)

bind_ties(.data, ...)

join_ties(.data, object2, attr_name)

filter_ties(.data, ...)

select_ties(.data, ...)

summarise_ties(.data, ...)

Arguments

.data	An object of a manynet-consistent class: matrix (adjacency or incidence) from {base} R edgelist, a data frame from {base} R or tibble from {tibble} igraph, from the {igraph} package network, from the {network} package tbl_graph, from the {tidygraph} package
ties	The number of ties to be added or an even list of ties.
attribute	A named list to be added as tie or node attributes.
attr_name	Name of the new attribute in the resulting object.
vector	A vector of values for the new attribute.
...	Additional arguments.
object2	A second object to copy nodes or ties from.

Value

A tidygraph (tbl_graph) data object.
