suaToNetworkRepresentation: SUA to Network Representation

In SWS-Methodology/faoswsAupus: Package to perform the AUPUS calculation.

Description

SUA data (Supply Utilization Accounts) contains information on specific uses of commodities within the food balance sheet. Often, SUA is explained as being analogous to all the financial transactions of a company and the Food Balance Sheets are thought of as the financial summary statement.

Usage

suaToNetworkRepresentation(dataList, aupusParam)

Arguments

dataList	A list of AUPUS datasets to be analyzed, typically as produced by the function getAupusDataset. For more details on this argument, please see ?getAupusDataset.
aupusParam	A list of running parameters to be used in pulling the data. Typically, this is generated from getAupusParameter (see that function for a description of the required elements).

Details

This function converts sua data to a network specification which is more natural for processing.

Value

A list of two elements: nodes and edges. Both of these objects are data.tables, and they share the same keys with one exception: edges has a parent and child item key where nodes only has an item key. All the input, share and extraction data is stored in edges and the AUPUS, ratio, balance, item, and population data is stored in the nodes.
