Background

These networks are taken from Dunbar R. and Dunbar P. (1975). Although the original data (H22A and H22B) were valued, we considered in the book GBM only the binarized versions (H22Abin and H22Bbin). The first matrix (H22A) is for a point of time and features 12 baboons. Seven are female (f1 through f7) and the five males are m1 through m5. Two baboons (f8 and m6) were introduced to the group (matrix H22B) and were accepted by the group. In the book GBM we considered the structure at both time points and looked if the structure changes with the introduction of two new members.

Codes in names: F(emale), M(ale); D(ominant), L(eader), F(ollower), N(ewcomer).
