Synthetic high-school friendship roster (nodes)

a small synthetic roster of 30 students intended for examples and teaching. designed to support a typical survey-style workflow: one row per student, one column per attribute, plus a separate edgelist of reported friendship ties (classroom_edges).

Usage

data(classroom_nodes)

Format

a data frame with 30 rows and 4 columns:

student: student identifier, character (e.g. "s01" .. "s30"). use this as the actor column when attaching attributes via add_node_vars.
gender: reported gender, character, "f" or "m".
grade: grade level, integer 9-12.
gpa: grade point average on the 0-4 scale, numeric.

Details

this dataset is synthetic – generated to illustrate how netify handles standard student/peer survey data. it is not drawn from any real classroom. ties tend to form within the same grade and (more weakly) within the same gender, so attribute-based analyses such as homophily and mixing_matrix produce meaningful (non-NULL) patterns.

pair with classroom_edges (an undirected friendship edgelist on the same 30 students).
