The last meetup before the summer break concluded the igraph session with a talk by Rainer. Mario summed up his impressions from the R/Finance 2016 conference.
Rainer Stuetz: igraph Applications
Rainer presented interesting igraph applications with an example to extract (clean) subnetworks, e.g. motorways, from the Austrian graph integration platform. The routing graph was parsed using the readr package and pre-processed with dplyr. For the extraction of the subnetworks, shortest path algorithms from igraph were used.
