ising_network_sim

20,000 simulated responses from 1,000 respondents to 20 items.

Simulated data. These responses were generated by a script, not collected from people; see the generating script.

About this table

DescriptionSimulated binary symptom data from a known Ising network: 1,000 persons x 20 nodes, random graph (edge probability 0.2), squared-normal edge weights. True node thresholds, degrees and the full edge-weight matrix in itemcov_true_* (itemcov_true_w_itemKK = weight to itemKK).
