Ego Network

An ego network is a way to visualize and analyze the relationships centered around a single individual, called the "ego." It includes the person and all their direct connections or contacts, like friends, family, or colleagues. The network also shows how those contacts are connected to each other. This helps understand the individual's social circle, communication patterns, and influence. Think of it as a personal map of relationships that highlights how closely connected or isolated someone is within their social environment.
