Dear RStudio Community!
I am currently writing a paper on the international flows of migration and remittances for university. I am conducting a network analysis and have received some interesting results. I would like to visualize some edges/flows of migration/remittances on a world map, but I do not know how.
I extracted the edges I would like to visualize to a data.frame with the following columns: From, To, Weight
For example: (From) Afghanistan, (To) Pakistan, (Weight) XXXX
I assume that I would have to add the corresponding longitude and latitude to the rows through a conditional order. I have already obtained the country centroids from Harvard WorldMap. How do I add them to the countries to show them on the world map? Is that possible? In addition, some countries are named a bit differently, like Congo (rep./Republic of et cetera).
I am new to the world of R and Network Analysis. I come from Germany, so I apologise for my English language skills. I am looking forward to your advise!
Best Regards
