Chapter 10. Working with Social Graphs
In this chapter we introduce the most basic features of graph analytics. Initially, we distinguish the structure of a graph and a social graph, and how to obtain our friends' graph from Facebook. Then, we present some of the basic operations with graph—such as Degree and Centrality. Finally, we work in a graph representation using Gephi and we will create our own visualization in D3.js
for our friends' graph.
In this chapter we will cover:
Social Networks Analysis
Acquiring my Friends list from Facebook
Representing graphs with Gephi
Statistical analysis of my graph (Degree and Centrality)
Graph visualization with
D3.js
