Error that the adjacency matrix is not symmetric

278 views Asked by At

My dataset is as follows, I want to create a network but the error is that my adjacency matrix is not symmetric, I am new to R, I don't know how to convert my data to symmetric adjacency matrix, can any one help me please?

df2:
17  "RobertKennedyJr" "RobertKennedyJr "             
18  "Real_Sheezzii"   "Real_Sheezzii "               
19  "Kellie_Martin"   "Kellie_Martin "

30  "JackSpa02102454" " KathyConWom"      

The code that I tried

library("igraph")
library("network")
library("statnet")
relationsp <- as.matrix(df2)
relationsp



net <- as.network(x = mat, # the network object
                  directed = TRUE, # specify whether the network is directed
                  loops = FALSE, # do we allow self ties (should not allow them)
                  matrix.type = "adjacency" # the type of input
)

If you are applying igraph package, you should use graph_from_data_frame to create the graph object net, which is followed by get.adjacency to obtain the adjacency matrix, e.g.,

> net <- graph_from_data_frame(dat)

> get.adjacency(net, sparse = FALSE)
