A simulation of an in-school friendship network.
The network is named faux.mesa.high because the school community on which it is based is in the rural western United States, with a student body that is largely Hispanic and Native American. The data set is based upon a model to fit data from one school community from the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health (Resnick et al., 1997). This network was originally distributed as part of the Statnet package.
