Gama Signed Social Network
A Small group signed social network (balance theory study) dataset of 16 nodes and 58 edges, collected by UCI Network Data Repository. Each record contains directed: False, weighted: True, signed: True. Small signed social network with +1/-1 edges — useful for testing structural balance theory.. Suitable for signed network analysis, structural balance theory, community detection.
