M. Vickers and S. Chan, (1981)
The data were collected by Vickers from 29 seventh grade students in a school in Victoria, Australia. Students were asked to nominate their classmates on a number of relations including the following three (layers):
- Who do you get on with in the class?
- Who are your best friends in the class?
- Who would you prefer to work with?
Students 1 through 12 are boys and 13 through 29 are girls.
There are 29 nodes in total, labelled with integer ID between 1 and 29, with 740 connections. The multiplex is directed and unweighted, stored as edges list in the file
Vickers-Chan-7thGraders_multiplex.edges
with format
layerID nodeID nodeID weight
(Note: all weights are set to 1)
The IDs of all layers are stored in
Vickers-Chan-7thGraders_layers.txt
