R for Social Network Analysis
Welcome
This is the website for “R for Social Network Analysis”, a practical guide to analyzing, visualizing, and modeling networks in R. The book walks through the standard descriptive toolkit, builds up ggraph-based visualizations, and covers the main families of inferential models (ERGMs, stochastic actor-oriented models, and relational event models), before closing with a tidyverse-style take on network analysis via tidygraph.
The book is aimed at researchers, students, and practitioners who already know a little R and want a guided tour of the network-analysis ecosystem without having to stitch together a dozen package vignettes themselves.
This book is under active development and chapters may change, move, or expand. See the announcement post for background on the project. Feedback and corrections are very welcome. Please open an issue on GitHub.
