In this chapter, we will introduce the most basic features of graph analytics. Initially, we will distinguish the structure of a graph and a social network analysis. Then, we will present some of the basic operations with a graph, such as Degree and Centrality. Then, we will work in a graph representation using a visualization tool called Gephi to apply some statistical and visualization methods implemented on graphs, such as modularity classification, coloring nodes, and layout distributions. Finally, we will create our own visualization in D3.js for our friends graph.
This chapter will cover the following:
Social networks analysis
Working with graphs using Gephi
Statistical analysis of my graph (Degree and Centrality)
Graph visualization with D3.js
