incubs: Incubator Networks Datasets

Description

Four data sets collected in year 2010 (see ‘source’ for the details) of multiple relations between entrepreneurial firms working in business incubators in Denmark.

Each data set contains the adjacency matrices of the three social relations, coded as C, F, and K for working collaboration, informal friendship, and perceived competition among the firms. There are also a pair of actor attributes corresponding to the adoption of two Web innovations in the year 2010 by the firms where A stands for Linkedin and B for Facebook websites.

In addition, there is a blockmodel attached to each data set that is a product of Compositional Equivalence (cf. cph) with transposes for each type of social tie labelled with the following letter in the Latin alphabet; i.e. D for collaboration, G for friendship, and L for perceived competition.

Usage

data("incubs")
data("incubA")
data("incubB")
data("incubC")
data("incubD")
data("incA")
data("incB")
data("incC")
data("incD")

Arguments

Format

Each data set is a list with a pair of three-dimensional arrays.

For incubA, the dimensions of net are \(26 \times 26 \times 5\), and of IM are \(4 \times 4 \times 7\). In this case, the two attributes led to the identity matrix.

For incubB, the dimensions of net are \(18 \times 18 \times 5\), and of IM are \(4 \times 4 \times 8\).

For incubC, the dimensions of net are \(22 \times 22 \times 5\), and of IM are \(3 \times 3 \times 8\).

For incubD, the dimensions of net are \(15 \times 15 \times 5\), and of IM are \(4 \times 4 \times 6\).

All four network datasets are gather together in object incubs.

To plot automatically actor attributes in the graph with function multigraph, another version of these data sets are given in incA, incB, incC, and incD, which are “Data.Set” objects class having:

  • net for the network data

  • atnet a vector that indicates whether or not the arrays in ‘net’ is attribute data

  • IM for the Image Matrices of the reduced network data

  • atIM a vector that indicates whether or not the array in ‘IM’ is attribute data

  • cite relational content of the ties
