Moreno Taro Exchange Network
A Taro exchange network in Papua New Guinea village dataset of 22 nodes and 78 edges, collected by Hage & Harary. Each record contains directed edges: True, weighted: False, signed: False. This undirected network contains gift-givings (taro) between households in a Papuan village. A node represents a household and an edge between two households indicates that there happened a gift-giving.. Suitable for exchange network analysis, community detection.
