Fig. 1: Network dyads and triads over time.
From: The 1995-2018 global evolution of the network of amicable and hostile relations among nation-states
This figure presents the dynamics of Integrated Crisis Early Warning System (ICEWS) network over time. a Proportion of positive and negative dyads (edges) over time in the strongly connected component. b Proportion of balanced triads over 23+ years. The three lines represent different subsets of Heider axioms as structural balance criteria in which they all show a similar trend. Triads are counted in networks built by aggregating 3 months of news articles. We found that changing the period length to monthly, biweekly, and weekly does not change the trend in this figure. c Average proportion of triads over 23+ years. Error bars correspond to one standard deviation and are computed using n = 103 network snapshots of quarters. d The set of ten operative triads (most frequent triads out of 138 possible ones).
