Hello, I am calculating 'Betweenness' of a large network using R. Currently, I have the node-node information (City1-City2) in an excel file, present in two columns where column A has City1 and column B has City2 that city1 is connected to. These are the steps that I go through to calculate betweenness of my network.
a) Convert the City1-City2 (text) into Number1-Number2 in the excel file where every unique city has a unique number. b) Paste all the city-city information separated by comma into c(...) in the R GUI to obtain the corresponding vectors. As you can imagine this copy-paste operation takes a long time. Example: c(1,3,1,5,2,4,2,5). Just fyi, I have a text file that contains all nodes separated by comma based on the appropriate link information. c) Then, I create a graph file with the above vector. d) I use the graph file to calculate betweenness of my network. I am sure there must be a better, more efficient way to calculate betweenness. Ideally, I would like to just have the City1 - City2 (link) information in two columns in an excel file and calculate the betweenness from that file directly. Please provide an optimal solution for this problem. I appreciate your time and help.
