This catalogue documents the relational event data and global covariates collected for amorem: what each dataset is, where it comes from, what its licence allows, and a profile of its structure. It covers 78 datasets.

What the licences allow

Each licence was read on the publisher’s own page (Harvard Dataverse, Zenodo and Figshare records, the providers’ terms pages, or the licence file shipped with the data) on 2026-10-17. amorem is released under the MIT licence, so a dataset can be bundled with it only when its terms allow redistribution without conditions that the MIT licence cannot carry.

verdict datasets
public domain, CC0, CC BY, MIT, Open Government Licence or explicitly unrestricted: may be bundled with attribution 32
no licence stated (only a request to cite): not redistributed 25

licence differs between datasets of the collection 1

10 of the datasets that may be bundled ship with amorem (see Bundled datasets). Three datasets bundled in earlier releases (CollegeMsg, Email-EU-core and the Social Evolution study) come from sources without a licence or under GPL-3; their status is under review. Datasets that cannot be redistributed are documented here with code that downloads them from their source; the figures and numbers on the topic pages are aggregates, not the data.

How the profiles are built

Every dataset is read from its files as downloaded by a reader in data-raw/catalogue/readers.R into a table of (sender, receiver, time) events, of hyperevents with sender and receiver sets, or of a time series. profile.R then computes the same statistics for every dataset:

  • repetition: the share of events whose pair occurred before, next to the share expected if every event picked a pair uniformly at random among all pairs of the actors present;
  • reciprocity (directed data): the share of events answering an earlier event in the opposite direction;
  • burstiness: B=(σ−μ)/(σ+μ)B = (\sigma - \mu)/(\sigma + \mu) of the gaps between successive events of the same pair, 0 for a Poisson process and close to 1 when events of a pair come in bursts;
  • concentration: the Gini coefficient of actor activity and the share of events involving the most active tenth of the actors;
  • daily cycle, when the time stamps carry clock time;
  • for directed logs, a conditional logit on the first 4,000 events with one control per event and three log-count statistics (sender activity, receiver popularity, past reciprocating events), using the case-control history of endogenous_features().
