Details

This function takes the pre-processed Twitter data (output of preprocess_tweets) and reshapes it for coordination detection (detect_coordinated_groups). You can choose the intent for reshaping the data. Use "retweets" to detect coordinated retweeting behaviour; "hashtags" for coordinated usage of hashtags; "urls" to detect coordinated link sharing behaviour; "urls_domain" to detect coordinated link sharing behaviour at the domain level. The output of this function is a reshaped data.table that can be passed to detect_coordinated_groups.
