contact-primary-school

Overview

This dataset is constructed from a contact network among children and teachers at a primary school.

We form hyperedges through cliques of simultaneous contacts. Specifically, for every unique timestamp in the dataset, we construct a hyperedge for every maximal clique amongst the contact edges that exist for that timestamp. Timestamps were recorded in 20-second intervals.

Statistics

Some basic statistics of this dataset are:

• Number of nodes: 242
• Number of timestamped hyperedges: 106,879
• Number of unique hyperedges: 12,799
