Loading predefined multilayer networks
Creates predefined multilayer networks from the literature.
ml_empty returns an empty multilayer network, not containing any actor, layer, node or edge.
ml_aucs returns the AUCS multiplex network described in Rossi and Magnani, 2015. "Towards effective visual analytics on multiplex networks". Chaos, Solitons and Fractals. Elsevier.
ml_bankwiring returns Padgett's Florentine Families multiplex network.
ml_florentine returns Padgett's Florentine Families multiplex network.
ml_monastery returns Sampson's monastery multiplex network.
ml_tailorshop returns Kapferer's' tailorshop multiplex network.
ml_toy returns the toy network used as a running example in Dickison, Magnani and Rossi. "Multilayer Social Networks". Cambridge University Press.
