In Dynet: Tidy Temporal Network Analysis
forum_posts R Documentation
Discussion forum posts
Description
Posts in a course discussion forum over roughly eight weeks. Each row is one
post directed at an earlier poster in the same thread. Because a post has a
timestamp but no end, the duration of the tie has to be derived: dynet()
treats a post as active until the last post in its thread, so a message that
provoked a long argument stays live longer than one that fell flat.
Usage
forum_posts
Format
A data.frame with 241 rows and 4 columns:
- sender
Character. Who wrote the post.
- receiver
Character. Who the post replied to.
- timestamp
POSIXct (UTC). When the post was made. Posts run from
2024-09-02 to 2024-10-27, just under eight weeks.
- thread
Character. The discussion thread it belongs to; 62 threads.
Details
Pairs with forum_people, which carries the roles used for mixing analysis.
Source
Simulated, not observed. Generated deterministically under a fixed
seed by data-raw/make-data.R.
Examples
dynet(forum_posts, thread = "thread", nodes = forum_people)
