Close friends are likely to share a lot of common friend’s and this is called ’embeddedness’ by the scientists. Multiple sets of anonymous data, including a large data set from 1.3 million Facebook users was used by the researchers. The results were 60% accurate on the dating life of Facebook users.

Researchers also looked at metrics such as how many times a user viewed another person’s profile, attended the same events and the messages that were sent. Dispersion turned out to be the most overall accurate metric for determining relationships.
