residence_hall — ANU Residence Hall network
- Description
Friendships among the 217 residents of a residence hall on the campus of the Australian National University, collected by C. M. Webster. The residents were interviewed individually at the start of the second semester: first, they were asked to recall all their friends currently living in the residence hall; then they were given a list of all the residents, and asked to add anyone else they considered a friend. Finally, they indicated the strength of each friendship tie; most specified three levels of friendship: "best friend", "close friend" and "friend". The data were combined into a valued matrix of reported friendship relations. The data were distributed by L. C. Freeman on his network data page at the University of California, Irvine (no longer online), from which this version was obtained via the Internet Archive.
A directed edge (i, j) indicates that resident i named resident j as a friend.
The network has the following properties:
- (Edge)
weight: the strength of the friendship tie, from 1 to 5 (the source mentions the three levels above, but does not document the coding of the values; 95% of the ties have values 3 to 5).
