AnalyzedSmallgraphSocial graph

A Hen dominance pecking order observation dataset of 32 nodes and 496 edges, collected by KONECT. Each record contains directed edges: True, weighted: False, signed: False. This directed network contains the peck order of 32 White Leghorn hens observed in 1946. A node represents a hen and an edge represents dominance of the left hen over the right hen.. Suitable for animal social network analysis, hierarchy detection.
