- Scripts folder contains necessary scripts to replicate results in the
paper
- Figures folder contains figures that are created with the
scripts

#### All analyses are completed with R.
#### Step 1: Calculate benchmarks to assess replicability
source("scripts/benchmarks.characteristics.R") # what to expect when networks don't differ
source("scripts/benchmarks.equalitytests.R") # what to expect when networks don't differ
#### Step 2: Load data, clean data, calculate demographics, and estimate networks
source("scripts/load data.R")
#### Step 3: Create figures for each network in each country/wave (presented in supplemental materials)
source("scripts/countryfigures.R")
#### Step 4: Compare countries to themselves over time and plot results
source("scripts/comparewithin.R") # Bayesian hypothesis testing of edge differences
source("scripts/stability.R") # overall, node-level, and edge-level comparisons
#### Step 5: Redo everything from Step 2 - Step 4 ten times, removing a random set of 4 items
source("scripts/remove nodes load data.R") # create data.frames for subsets.
source("scripts/remove nodes estimate networks.R") # estimate networks (takes a long time)
source("scripts/remove nodes comparewithin.R") # Bayesian hypothesis testing of edge differences (takes a long time)
source("scripts/remove nodes stability.R") # overall, node-level, and edge-level comparisons of subsets
source("scripts/remove nodes original comparison.R") #comparewithin figs for original subset comparisons
#### Step 6: testing if stability is related to stability of political system and sample size
source("scripts/identifyingstability.R")
