Data Sets
Here you find all the data sets described and analysed in the
textbook:
"Complex Networks: Principles, Methods and Applications",
V. Latora, V. Nicosia, G. Russo (Cambridge University Press,
2017)
For each data set you find below a brief description and a list
of salient properties (number of node, number of edges, etc.),
together with links to download it.

Movie actors network
This data set (see Box 2.2 on page 81 of the book)
contains the co-starring network studied for the first
time by Duncan Watts and Steven Strogratz in their seminal
paper "Collective dynamics of small-world
networks". Each node is an actor, and a link
between an actor exists if they have acted togeter in at
least one movie.

two families if a member of one of the two families has
married a member of the other one.
- Nodes (N): 16
- Edges (K): 20

primates if they have been seen together at the same river
for a sufficient number of times.
- Nodes (N): 17
- Edges (K): 31
- Directed: no

US air transportation network
The network of travel connections among the 500 airports
in the US with the largest amount of traffic. An edge
exists between two nodes if there is a direct flight
between the corresponding airports. Each edge has
associated an integer weight corresponding to the total
number of seats available on all the direct routes
between the two endpoints within a year.
- Nodes (N): 500
- Edges (K): 2980
- Directed: no
- Weighted: yes

Financial stocks network
This data set contains the network obtained from the
analysis of temporal correlations among the time-series of
the log-returns of 62 stocks in the New York Exchange
Market between Jauary 2012 and December 2014. There are
three versions of the weighted network, where weights are,
respectively, the Pearson correlation coefficient
(stocks_62_pearson.net), the distance induced by the
Pearson correlation coefficient (stocks_62_distance.net),
and the weight obtaied as the inverse of the distance
(stocks_62_weight.net).
- Nodes (N): 62
- Edges (K): 1891
- Directed: no
- Weighted: yes
