Bernard and Killworth HAM Radio

Description

This data records interaction among amatuer HAM radio calls over a one-month period. bkHamB records radio calls made over the period, as monitored by a voice-activated recording device (stored in the edge value 'ranking'). bkHamC contains rankings by the operators of how frequently they talked to other operators in the edge value 'ranking', judged retrospectively at the end of the one-month sampling period.

Attributes

The Bernard and Killworth HAM radio data contains two networks of radio calls collected during a one-month period. In both networks vertices represent radio operators. The edges in the bkHamB network represent radio communications as recorded by a voice-activated device. Each edge in this network has an associated attribute 'calls' which records the number of calls made over the month period. The bkHamC network contains rankings made by radio operators at the end of the one-month collection period this results in a complete graph with edge attributes. Edge attribtues,'ranking', in the bkHamC network represent rankings made by the operators on how frequently they talked with other operators.

Collection

Bernard and Killworth, later with the help of Sailer, collected five sets of data on human interactions in bounded groups and on the actors' ability to recall those interactions. In each study they obtained measures of social interaction among all actors, and ranking data based on the subjects' memory of those interactions. The names of all cognitive (recall) matrices end in C, those of the behavioral measures in B.
