Gephi for graphing social support tiers
Posted: 23 Apr 2017 01:43
Hi all,
Would Gephi be able to graph multiple social networks that are defined by categories and not specific people? I have data on 300 survey participants who ranked their social support tiers (1-9) by categories (friends, family, partner). So they would map out who they would turn to first by tiers. I was hoping to have a graph where I could weight tier 1 responses as larger nodes and tier 9 responses as small. Then, I would organize each node group by category (a friend section, a family, etc.). Finally, each node for each respondent would be linked together with a line, to demonstrate their social network. Apologize if this does not make sense, it is difficult to put into words. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
