Tools for importing, analyzing and visualizing ego-centered or personal network
data. egor integrates nicely with the tidyverse, by
providing methods for most dplyr
commands. An egor
object contains the three
data levels, ego
, alter
and alter-alter ties (aatie
). In order to switch
between the three data levels the activate()
concept is lent from the
tidygraph package.

egor
offers a few visualization techniques for ego-centered network data:
And there is a Network Visualization App providing a graphical interface that let's the user compose their visualizations interactively.
An egor object can be created with the egor()
command. In addition there are
some functions that import specific data formats for ego-centered network data.
There are currently three importing functions that read the data exported from
data collection tools from the hard drive and load them as an egor
object.
read_openeddi()
read_egoweb()
read_egonet()
In addition there are three functions that help with the transformation of common data formats of ego-centered network data into egor objects:
onefile_to_egor()
twofiles_to_egor()
threefiles_to_egor()
There are a few commands facilitating the analysis of ego-centered networks. To learn more, please take a look at the package vignette.
