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.
