This data was constructed using rggobi from the florentineFamilies data in the Bioconductor package SNAData, by Denise Scholtens. She took the data from Wasserman and Fause (1999) "Social Network Analysis," but this particular data originates in John Padgett's classic (and ongoing) study of Florentine families between 1282 and 1500. His first paper on the topic was published in 1993. Wealth: Net wealth measured in 1427, in thousands of lira NumberTies: number of business or marital ties in the total network of 116 families NumberPriorates: number of members of the Priorate, the governing body of Florence Business relationships are defined as recorded financial ties such as loans, credits and joint partnerships. Substantively, the data include families who were locked in a struggle for political control of the city of Florence in around 1430. Two factions were dominant in this struggle: one revolved around the infamous Medicis, the other around the powerful Strozzis. To the original data, we added edge weights equal to the average of the 'NumberTies' of two connected families. Unfortunately, we can't distinguish between business and marital ties in this data. 10 53 2 36 65 3 55 na 14 44 12 9 20 22 18 32 na 9 8 21 14 42 0 14 103 53 54 48 na 7 49 42 32 3 0 1 27 38 4 10 35 5 146 74 29 48 na 7 This is XML created by GGobi 16.0 11.5 34 23 11.5 11.5 20.5 16 25 31.5 14 23 30.5 29.5 30.5 This is XML created by GGobi 28 6 8.5 28.5 16 34 11.5 20.5 19 25 23.5 14 10.5 29 29.5 30.5 6 30.5 16.5 5.5
