| Title: | Degrees of Separation Between CRAN authors |
|---|---|
| Description: | Calculate the shortest path through a graph network between any two authors listed on CRAN. Analagous to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Erdos Number. Author X collaborates with author Y; author Z collaborates with Y but not X, therefore the distance from X to Z is two. |

A tidygraph object of all package-author relationships as captured on 28
February 2019. Extracted using the kevinbacran::kb_combos() function.
Intended as an example for testing the other functions in the package.

Fetches CRAN package data, cleans author names, creates a tidy tibble of each package-author combination and turns this into a tidygraph object. Nodes are authors and edges are packages they collaborate on.

A tidygraph object with classes 'tbl_graph' and 'igraph'.

Returns a numeric value that represents the degrees of
separation between the two named authors that were provided to
kevinbacran::kb_pair(). This value is the number of edges, or
packages, required to link those two authors by the shortest route. The
value is analagous to the 'Kevin Bacon Number' or 'Erdos Number'.

Finds one of the possible shortest paths between two named
authors from CRAN. This is possible by searching the tidygraph object of
all CRAN's package-author relationships created with
kevinbacran::kb_combos(). Outputs a tidygraph object that's a
subset of the full CRAN tidygraph. This output contains only the named
authors and the authors and packages that link them together.

Returns a ggplot2 object that represents the degrees of
separation between the two named authors that were provided to
kevinbacran::kb_pair(). The two named authors are terminal nodes.
Intermediate nodes represent intermediate authors that link via edges
that represent a package that the authors collaborated on.
