So these are only very rough approximations of what the real networks look like.<br /><br />The edges mean one of the drug traffickers worked with the other one, the colors are for distinguishing the different sub-networks or communities in each cartel. I used the default community finding algorithm that comes with Gephi for finding them.Diegohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888857072921986860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280550716273637581.post-42962998540850376342011-04-10T05:31:29.481-05:002011-04-10T05:31:29.481-05:00Great stuff as always Diego; again I&#39;m impressed with how the data has been collected, cleaned, checked and presented. <br /><br />I&#39;m wondering about those network maps. Can you give explain how to interpret them (what exactly do the various colors and connections mean?) and what source(s) you used to fill in the details? I apologize if I missed this somewhere...benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13912857472585959586noreply@blogger.com
