us_congress — US Congressional co-sponsorship (1973-2016)
- Description
Signed networks of relationships among the members of the U.S. Congress, inferred by Z. P. Neal from bill co-sponsorship data, for each chamber and each Congress from the 93rd (1973–1974) to the 114th (2015–2016). There is one network for each chamber and Congress, named by the chamber (
Hfor the House of Representatives,Sfor the Senate) followed by the number of the Congress (e.g.S100for the Senate of the 100th Congress).Nodes are representatives or senators. The relationships were obtained from the bipartite network of legislators and the bills they sponsored or co-sponsored, by extracting its signed backbone with the stochastic degree sequence model (SDSM): two legislators have a positive relationship if they co-sponsored significantly more bills together than expected given the numbers of bills each of them (co-)sponsored and the numbers of (co-)sponsors of each bill, and a negative relationship if they co-sponsored significantly fewer bills together than expected. Pairs without a significant relationship are not connected.
The networks have the following properties:
- (Node)
name: the name of the legislator, with state and party affiliation (e.g.Baucus, M. (MT-D)). - (Edge)
weight: the sign of the relationship, $+1$ (positive) or $-1$ (negative).
