Functions and data accompanying my workshop "Introduction to Social Network Analysis with R".
This package is about analyzing social networks. Social Network Analysis (SNA) uses mathematical graph theory to represent its ideas. Nevertheless, for, among other things, historical reasons SNA developed its own terminology of networks that functions somewhat in parallel to graph-theoretical terms. To clarify, these are the synonyms for strict mathematical terms corresponding to graphs:
a collection of vertices and lines connecting them. Sometimes called "network"
sometimes called "node"
sometimes called a (directed/undirected) "tie". Edge starting point can be called a "tie sender" or "ego". Edge endpoint can be called "tie receiver" or "alter"
