Fig. 1From: Multichannel social signatures and persistent features of ego networksConstructing Egocentric Networks. Constructing egocentric networks from calls and texts using time-binned weights. a The timelines corresponding to each of the ego’s alters are divided into bins–we use bins that span one hour. Then, the number of bins with at least one communication event is computed. These numbers are used as link weights for egocentric networks (panel b). For the mixed networks, the link weights represent the number of bins where either calls, texts, or both are taking placeBack to article page
