ITNr Version 0.2.0

International Trade Network (ITN) Analysis in R

A new version of my package ITNr (0.2.0) is now on CRAN!

The ITNr package presents a set of functions of to clean trade data, implement desciptitve analysis of the ITN and create a range of plots.

I have updated and corrected the documentation for function is the last version, and have added several new functions. These include:

  • core_periphery_weighted: To identify whether nodes belong to the core/periphery in weighted directed/undirected networks. Using the approach aproach developed by Ma & Mondragón (2015)

  • ITN_map_plot: Creates a plot where the ITN is layered onto a map

  • ITNcentrality_binary: Calculates centrality measues for a binary network
