incubs: Business Incubators Data Sets

Description

These are 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 two actor attributes corresponding to the adoption of a Web innovations at that time by the firms where A stands for Linkedin and B for Facebook.

In addition, there is a blockmodel attached to each data set that is 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, etc.

Usage

data("incubs") data("incubA") data("incubB") data("incubC") data("incubD")

Arguments

Format

Each data set is a list with a pair of three dimensioanl arrays. For incubA, the dimensions of net are $26 \times 26 \times 5$, and of IM are $4 \times 4 \times 7$ (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 networks are putted in together in incubs.
