• Network 1: he\ she got on with another given student;

• Network 2: he\ she considered another given student as his\ her best friend;

• Network 3: he\ she would have liked to work with another given student.

The matrix sex is an edge-specific binary covariate recording the gender of pairs of students. If a pair of students is of the same sex, the corresponding entry in the matrix is 0, otherwise is 1.
