April Meeting Recap

Our March meeting was pushed to April due to construction in the library over spring break.

Friederike Hoeg was our first brave volunteer to tell us a little about herself, what she works on, and how she uses R in her work. She clued us in to the directlabels package for adding labels directly to R plots.

Richard Paquin Morel was our main presenter. He taught us about doing network analysis in R with the igraph and statnet packages, including which package is best for different tasks. He covered the full workflow from importing data, to subsetting graphs, to visualizing them. Materials from Richard’s presentation, including links to more resources, are available on GitHub.

If you’d like to volunteer to present in a future meeting, please email Christina at christina.maimone@northwestern.edu.
