EdgCMap: Extract all edges from a Qualitative Data Analysis project

Description

This function opens a Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) project and extracts edge information.

Usage

EdgCMap(project, sep = ">", coder = "qcoder")

Arguments

project

A QDA project, a list as generated by the ProjectCMap function.

sep

(==Depreciated, with RQDA project==) A character string (often a single character) that is used in RQDA in order to express the relationships between two variables. Default is "_" if codes used in RQDA are of the form : "x_y" (i.e. relationship from x to y), but it is possible to use ">", "->", "-->" or even "--->"

coder

A character string indicating the coding tool used for coding the QDA. The only tool supported now is 'qcoder'. Earlier version of cogmapr worked with "RQDA" project (no more maintened).

Value

A data.frame with the relationships identified in the interviews. Each relationships ('coding_id') is linked to an agent ('doc_ed'), an edge's name ('edge'), the varible at the origin of the relationships ('concept_from'), the variable at the end of the relationships ('concept_to'), other properties of the relationships ('coding_sign', 'coding_weight', 'coding_class' and 'document_part') and the quotes linked to relationships ('selected_text').

Details

The coding used in the QDA have to be done using the 'cogamp-dev' branch of the qcoder package (github : 'FrdVnW/qcoder'). devtools::install_github('FrdVnW/qcoder', ref = "cogmap-dev", upgrade = 'never')

Examples

# NOT RUN {
project_name <- "a_new_project"
main_path <- paste0(system.file("testdata", package = "cogmapr"), '/')
my.project <- ProjectCMap(main_path, project_name)

EdgCMap(my.project)
# }
