Summary

A 30-firm supplier-client network for large S&P 500 companies, represented as a directed graph and analyzed with link-prediction methods after projection to a simple undirected network.

Context

The notebook encodes supplier-client relations and studies network structure and candidate missing links with standard complex-network tools.

Main contributions

  • Builds a directed supplier-to-client network with 30 firms and 37 observed relations.
  • Projects the network to a simple graph for link-prediction methods implemented in NetworkX.
  • Makes the executed notebook available as an HTML-rendered notebook view.
