This data set represents a simulation of a directed in-school friendship network. The network is named faux.dixon.high.
data(faux.dixon.high)faux.dixon.high is a network object
with 248 vertices (students, in this case) and 1197 directed edges
(friendship nominations). To obtain additional summary information about it,
type summary(faux.dixon.high).
The vertex attributes are Grade, Sex, and Race. The
Grade attribute has values 7 through 12, indicating each student's
grade in school. The Race attribute is based on the answers to two
questions, one on Hispanic identity and one on race, and takes six possible
values: White (non-Hisp.), Black (non-Hisp.), Hispanic, Asian (non-Hisp.),
Native American, and Other (non-Hisp.)
