house-committees dataset
This is a hypergraph, where nodes are members of the US House of
Representatives and hyperedges correspond to commitee memberships. The
dataset is derived
from Congressional
data compiled by Charles Stewart and Jonathan Woon. Each node is
labeled with political party affiliation. Some summary statistics of
the dataset are:
- number of nodes: 1,290
- number of hyperedges: 341
- mean / median hyperedge size: 34.8 / 40.0
- rank of hypergraph (maximum hyperedge size): 82
- number of node classes: 2
- Generative hypergraph clustering: from blockmodels to modularity.
