Using time allocation data for social network analysis
Anthropologists and behavioural ecologists commonly collect point scan data of research subjects, which record activities, relative positions, and interactions of all participants at regular intervals. This time allocation data has commonly been used to study variation in activity over the lifespan and as a function of life history variables. However, time allocation data also provides unique insight into individuals' social networks.
