[Rsiena-help] Bipartite network analysis in Rsiena

[Matthew Weber]

Hi All,

I'm working on analyzing bipartite longitudinal network and am hoping to use
Rsiena to do this. I have a network that has 248 "users" and 1970
"resources" and have set this data up as a bimodal network.

As best I can tell, the proper format for Rsiena involves setting up the
rows as the 248 users, followed by the 1970 resources... And setting up the
columns as 1970 resources followed by 248 resources. (although I've tried a
number of different combinations).

But I'm unable to get this data to load properly.

So I have two questions:

1) If someone has an example of properly formatted bipartite network data
for Rsiena, would you mind sharing with me off list. An example would help.

2) Second, when I'm loading the data I get an error message reading "Error:
Object 'miss' not found" ... Any ideas as to what would cause this message
would be great.

Thanks so much.

-Matt
