Linked network
# 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 $other.^{:259}$

Different examples of linked networks $are:^{:259–260}$

* 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.
