Handling, visualising and analysing contact data during outbreaks

What we want to do

  • get data in from reported contact lists (=edges and edge attributes) and line lists (=nodes attributes)
  • visualise network
  • handle directionality
  • visualise node metadata
  • visualise edge metadata
  • visualise data as time-constrained graph
  • subset by node metadata
  • subset by edge metadata
  • analysis: degree distribution, centrality, lengths of chains, other descriptors of networks

Existing tools

  • Neo4J and RNeo4J
  • visNetwork
  • igraph
  • networkD3
  • ggnetwork
  • network
  • networkDynamic
  • muxViz
  • gephi (non R, open source)
  • GoData (WHO initiative, check development status and licence)

Available data

  • simulated Ebola data in 'outbreaks'
  • SL data (non public)
  • Finlay's simulator
  • Bertrand's Ebola data
