Overview

Network Dataset

The dataset name is Student, and includes the following:

• • Student_government.net: 11 vertices (members of the student government), 41 arcs (choice of discussion partner), no edges, no loops, no line values.

  • Student_government.clu: the formal position of the student in the parliament (1 - advisor, 2 - minister, 3 - prime minister).

  • Student_government.paj: Pajek project file with data listed above.

Background

This network contains the discussion relations among the eleven students who were members of the student government at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. The students were asked to indicate with whom of their fellows they discussed matters concerning the administration of the university informally. Within the parliament, students have positions which convey formal ranking: the prime minister, the ministers, and the advisors.
