Stack Exchange — matheducators.stackexchange.com

A Stack Exchange (matheducators.stackexchange.com) dataset of 3,429 users, 9,787 answer-collaboration edges, 3,765 questions, 12,592 answers, collected by Stack Exchange, Inc. via the annual Stack Exchange Data Dump. Each record contains user nodes (reputation, badge counts, vote history), directed weighted edges (answerer→asker, weight=answer score, count=interactions, accepted=bool), post text, tag distribution. User collaboration network from matheducators.stackexchange.com — directed weighted graph where edges represent knowledge-sharing relationships (A answered B's question), with edge weight reflecting answer quality. Enables prestige hierarchy, community detection, and expertise flow analysis.. Suitable for expertise network analysis, reputation systems, community detection, knowledge flow, PageRank-based authority ranking, Q&A platform dynamics..
