Network visualization of football transfers using the 'visNetwork' package
Click here for the interactive visualization
If you're interested in the visualisation of networks or graphs, you might've heard of the great package "visNetwork". I think it's a really great package and I love playing around with it. The scenarios of graph-based analyses are many and diverse: whenever you can describe your data in terms of "outgoing" and "receiving" entities, a graph-based analysis and/or visualisation is possible. During my work as a linguist, I already used graphs for different purposes like linking-structures within dictionaries, visualising co-occurence patterns of words and so on.
Today, I want to show you something completely different: transfers of male football players in the German "1. Bundesliga", the first division of male football in Germany.
