This is an affiliation network that contains information on the ten most popular movies (based on IMDB activity) for each year from 1999 to 2014. For each movie, the first ten actors listed under the IMDB field Full Cast are included. Thus, the underlying network data form a bipartite graph, where ties exist between a movie and the top ten actors who starred in that movie.

Format

An igraph network object with 1365 vertices (160 movies, 1205 actors) and 1600 edges.

Details

The network data are stored here in an igraph bipartite graph object. The network also includes three types of node attributes: the year the movie was released, the movie's MPAA rating, and the IMDB user rating. Note that the vertex attributes that store this node information are only defined for the movie nodes, not the actor nodes.

Node characteristics:

  • name - Name of movie or actor

  • type - Binary indicator used by igraph to indicate vertex type (TRUE = movie; FALSE = actor)

  • year - Year movie was released

  • IMDBrating - IMDB user rating for movie

  • MPAArating - MPAA movie rating (G, PG, PG-13, R)
