We can recode this data to get signed graphs in several ways:
- rocoding (files New1*.net):
1, 2, 3 -> 1 (likes)
14, 15, 16 -> -1 (does not like)
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 -> 0.
- recoding (files New2*.net):
1, 2, 3 -> 1 (likes)
15, 16 -> -1 (does not like)
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 -> 0.
- recoding (files New3*.net):
1, 2, 3, 4 -> 1 (likes)
14, 15, 16 -> -1 (does not like)
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 -> 0.
