Linked network

Linked network in statistics is a network, which is composed of one-node networks, where the nodes from different one-node networks are connected through two-node networks. This means, that "linked networks are collections of networks defined on different sets of nodes", where all sets of nodes must be connected to each other.^[1]: 259

Different examples of linked networks are: ^{[1]: 259–260 [2]}

• multilevel networks,
• dynamic networks (networks, measured at several different points in time),
• dynamic multilevel networks, measured at several different points in time,
• meta-networks, based on the PCANS model.
