General

  • I've created lots of new Pajek help & tips - see Pajek help. Please be sure to master these techniques, especially
    • how to extract a subnetwork based on a partition
    • how to extract a subpartition or subvector based on a partition
  • I'm away on Thursday: class affiliation partition, and game (someone please take attendance)
  • draft proposals - be adding, correcting...I will give you feedback.

Exercise 5.8

  • Movies.paj contains
    • 2-mode network linking 62 producers (mode 1, rows) to 40 composers (mode 2, columns) based on co-production during 1964-76
    • partition indicating top composers
    • questions:
      • do top composers work for relatively few producers (repeatedly work with the same producers over and over again)?
      • do top composers all work for the same producers?
    • procedure
      • examine network, looking at top composers. Any patterns?
      • compare partitions: (1) degree, and (2) being a top composer. What do cross-tabs tell us?
      • now extract one-mode net of composers only
      • extract corresponding "top composers" partition.
