Attempted sexual relations in Mad Men (TV show)

Description

Each row of this data frame represents a pair of characters on the TV show Mad Men, as of the end of season 4. Each row represents an attempted sexual relation: the character in the first column, Name1, attempted to have sex with the character in the second column, Name2. If the relationship goes in both directions (the characters had sex with each other), then there will be two rows, representing each direction. This data can be displayed with a directed graph.

Usage

Variables

• Name1: Character who made sexual advances.

• Name2: Character who was the target of sexual advances.
