After
you have loaded your data into
SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop,
you can investigate the data with a variety of statistical graphs.
A statistical graph is based on either link data or node data.
Statistical
graphs serve two distinct roles in
SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization
Workshop:
-
The graphs enable exploratory data
analysis on either the link or the node data. Distributional patterns
or correlations in the data can often be detected using these graphs.
For a summary of tasks that you can perform,
see Non-Network Data .
-
The graphs can provide data filters
for network data. Since all views (tables or graphs) of a data set
are linked, observation selections in one graph are reflected in all
graphs using that data set. Using the statistical graphs, you can
selectively filter the observations displayed in the network graphs
to uncover important relationships between nodes.
You can
create the following types of statistical graphs:
