Read Highland Tribes

Description

A network of political alliances (``gama'') and enmities (``rova'') among the 16 tribes of Eastern Central Highlands of New Guinea, documented by Read (1954).

Usage

data(tribes)

Format

An undirected network object with no loops, having the following attributes:

%v% "vertex.names"
Character attribute with names of tribes.
%e% "gama"
Logical attribute indicating an alliance relationship.
%e% "rova"
Logical attribute indicating a hostile relationship.
%e% "sign"
Numeric attribute coding -1 for enmity, 0 for no relationship, and 1 for alliance.
%e% "sign.012"
Numeric attribute coding 0 for enmity, 1 for no relationship, and 2 for alliance.

Because of limitations of network objects, the object itself is a complete graph, and is thus meaningless if used directly or plotted.

Details

This network shows 3 clusters.
