Importing and analysing a symmetrical matrix

[LudwigBag]

Hi,
I'm trying to import a matrix to SocNetV, but I don't really understand how should I do it if the matrix is symmetrical. The matrix has about 900 vertexes and basically contains people (names and surnames) who have coauthored with each other - thus matrix being symmerical.
Am I missing something, how can I import such matrix to SocNetV?

Thank you in advance:)

Hello, Thanks for considering SocNetV. I think the problem is that your input matrix contains names rather than numbers, as the application expects. SocNetV supports importing NxN adjacency matrices only, that is matrices where each (i,j) element is the weight of the edge i -> j. However, the application also supports other file formats (see https://socnetv.org/docs/formats.html). For instance, the edgelist and the weighted edgelist format can be of help in your case, if you can transform your data into one of these formats. Regards,
