# egor

Tools for importing, analyzing and visualizing ego-centered or personal network

data. egor integrates nicely with the [tidyverse](http://www.tidyverse.org), 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](https://github.com/thomasp85/tidygraph) package.

## Installation

    # Install release version from CRAN

    install.packages("egor")

    # Install development version from GitHub

    remotes::install_github(repo="tilltnet/egor")

    

## Visualize

`egor` offers a few visualization techniques for ego-centered network data:

- regular network plots ![](https://www.tillt.net/egor/reference/figures/network_plot.png)

- clustered graphs ![](https://www.tillt.net/egor/reference/figures/clustered_graphs.png)

- ego-grams ![](https://www.tillt.net/egor/reference/figures/ego_gram.png)

And there is a Network Visualization App providing a graphical interface that

let's the user compose their visualizations interactively.

## Import data

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()

```

## Analyse

There are a few commands facilitating the analysis of ego-centered networks. To

learn more, please take a look at the package
