taro: Schwimmer Taro Exchange

In zalmquist/networkdata: Lin Freeman's Network Data Collection

Description

taro: One 22 by 22 matrix, symmetric, binary.

BACKGROUND These data represent the relation of gift-giving (taro exchange) among 22 households in a Papuan village. Hage & Harary (1983) used them to illustrate a graph hamiltonian cycle. Schwimmer points out how these ties function to define the appropriate persons to mediate the act of asking for or receiving assistance among group members.
