[REVIEW] Add an example of an empirical dataset #38

Closed nwlandry closed 1 week ago

nwlandry commented 3 weeks ago

The tutorials are really helpful, but it would be great if there was a tutorial on working with an empirical dataset (See Netzschleuder, for example).

openjournals/joss-reviews#6930

dataspider commented 1 week ago

A tutorial using real-world data is now available here.

As the datasets tagged "multilayer" on Netzschleuder (and also those available in most other places) had neither cleanly documented provenance nor reliable (i.e., archival DOI, not personal homepage) upstream URLs, I ended up using an excerpt from the CITES data on trade in endangered species compiled by UNEP, which is also redistributed in the tutorial folder along with the preprocessing code.

(I am hoping to make the full data available for multilayer-network analysis via Zenodo, too, such that it can readily be included also in Netzschleuder and other aggregators, but I want to check with CITES/UNEP first).

@dataspider --- this is perfect! Sorry that it was more involved to find such a dataset, but I think that it makes pymnet more compelling. Nice work.
