Create Data Loader

[CharlotFranssen]

• For all networks: igraph, network object, edge list, adjacency matrix, incidence matrix

[WouterMulder9]

The functions which can be used in the data loader can be seen in "data loader.R". This file includes 2 different functions which can be used to import data:

• The load network data function: This function can be used to import multiple different network inputs into either a network object or an igraph object. The input can be one of:
  • Igraph
  • Network
  • Edge list (nx2 matrix)
  • Adjacency matrix (nxn matrix)
  • Incidence matrix (nxm matrix)
• The apollo network from excel function: This function can be used to directly import the apollo data (v1) from either the provided directory or, if no directory is given, the working directory

These functions can be recalled into any R file by putting the "data loader.R" file into the working directory and using source('data loader.R')

Some of the assumptions made might need editing dependent on the responses in the 4-3 meeting

Updated data loader.R to represent the latest data, new functions which can be used in the data loader can be seen in "data loader.R". This file includes 2 different functions which can be used to import data:

• The load network data function: This function can be used to import multiple different network inputs into either a network object or an igraph object. The input can be one of:
  • Igraph
  • Network
  • Edge list (nx2 matrix)
  • Adjacency matrix (nxn matrix)
  • Incidence matrix (nxm matrix)
• The apollo network from excel function: This function can be used to directly import the apollo data (v2) from either the provided directory or, if no directory is given, the directory of where the R file is placed. Furthermore, what information/network is retrieved can be changed by using the sheet attribute

These functions can be recalled into any R file by putting the "data loader.R" file into the working directory and using source('data loader.R')

I think it would be better if you would already create the networks itself in this script, so people don't have to call upon the created functions anymore and can directly use the network. This also ensures that everyone uses the exact same network, and that we don't have to read/understand the functions that create the network.

works great, putting our coding skills to shame 🤙🏾. tried all function in multiple ways
