This notebook documents the failed attempt of creating a network out of anonymized phone connection data from a telecommunications startup.

Summary

The raw data set

The dataset contains 14 million entries, including identifiers for initiator and recepient, description of connection (call vs message) and time stamp (from 2021-02-26 to 2021-08-31)

No network structure

It turns out that there is no network structure in the data. We define an edge where there is at least one message or call between two nodes. Then there are about 6000 nodes with degree 1, 1500 with degree 2 and few nodes with higher degree.

There is no giant component. The biggest connected component consists of 13 nodes.
