Network Analysis Tutorial - Creating a Template

Creating a Network Analysis Template

The Network model allows you to use your own data directly or to use a pre-formatted template.

Because the Network model requires a specific data format, users with their own data should review the pre-formatted template to become familiar with the appropriate structure.

The Templates feature can be found on the Enginius Dashboard in the left column.

After selecting the Network Analysis template from the dropdown, you will be presented with the following dialog box to set up the template according to your data needs:

The template generation allows you to specify the model analysis specific to your study:

Options

• Number of nodes (50-300): Creates a “Network data” data block with the number of nodes that you have selected.

Diffusion

• Manual seeding: Creates an additional data block where you can specify the exact set of nodes where the diffusion process will be initiated.

Note: the check box at the bottom of the dialog box will cause the template to populate with sample (random) data that will allow you to run Network Analysis immediately so you can preview the output produced. 

After selecting the desired model options, click  to generate the data collection template.
