[Rsiena-help] clarification on changelog for RSienaTest rev.93

[Ruth M. Ripley]

Dear Marco,

I noticed that some of the code to deal with composition change in 
bipartite networks is missing, so I added the error message to alert 
users. I had not heard of any problems, but it is probably not obvious 
that the code is incomplete.

If you have missing values with sparse _format_ networks I would have 
expected the code to be very slow. (I fixed the one-mode sparse missings 
recently because the method was hopelessly slow with a significant number 
of missing data, and I was working with such a network.) (If it worked, 
this part would be OK, I think.)

I will try to deal with this asap, as soon as I have investigated the 
dyadic covariates from yesterday's messages!

Regards,

Ruth
