It is about a social network dataset.To be specific,the first two columns give two participants' ID number,and last column lists the two users' relationship,which can be regarded as the uncertain edge existing probability of the graph.

Ok so you should create a
DL file to put the edge list.
The last column is can be seen as the "weight" of the edges. I advise to multiply the probabilities by 100 so that the layouts can use them properly.
So you'll have a file like this, given the 3 nodes of your example:
Code: Select all
dl
format=edgelist1
n=3
data:
42051169 51923155 0
42051169 51923155 30
42051169 64029985 50

Hi,
To complement what Sebastien said: once you have your dl file: open it in Gephi, then you can save it as a gexf file.
Best,
Clement
