This visualization demonstrates the initial stages of transforming raw Enron email data into an interactive adjacency matrix. It shows how email records are grouped and aggregated to reveal communication patterns and sentiment scores between individuals. The code uses D3.js v3’s `d3.nest()` and `d3.csv()` to parse the dataset, then restructures grouped data into link objects containing sender, recipient, mail count, and average sentiment. Key D3 API methods include `d3.sum()` and `d3.mean()` for rollup calculations, alongside standard JavaScript array methods to prepare nodes for future rendering.
