recode function

Recodes an edgelist such that ids go from 1 to n

recode(data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
recode(data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
recode(data, ...)

Arguments

• data: Edgelist as either a matrix or dataframe with ego and alter
• ...: Further arguments for the method (ignored)

Returns

A recoded edgelist as a two-column matrix/data.frame depending on the class of data. The output includes an attribute called "recode" which contains a two column data.frame providing a mapping between the previous code and the new code (see the examples)

Details

Required for using most of the package's functions, as ids are used as a reference for accessing elements in adjacency matrices.

Examples

# Simple example ------------------------------------------------------------
edgelist <- cbind(c(1,1,3,6),c(4,3,200,1))
edgelist
recoded_edgelist <- recode(edgelist)
recoded_edgelist

# Retrieving the "recode" attribute
attr(recoded_edgelist, "recode")
