Loading predefined multilayer networks


Description

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.

Usage

ml_empty(name="")

ml_bankwiring()
ml_florentine()
ml_monastery()
ml_tailorshop()
