[Rsiena-help] Two RSiena points

[Tom Snijders]

Dear Christian,

For the unavailability of the siena01Gui: as long as there is no new version of RSiena that does this correctly, if you use Windows, you could use the April 25, Rev 83 version, available as
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~snijders/siena/RSiena_1.0.11.zip
An alternative is the stable release of CRAN (dating from March 15). Ruth is away for holidays for one more week, so it is better to assume that there will be no new version on R-Forge within the coming days.

I shall add the 0 to the Rsienascript - this will be changed when there is a further update to this file. Note that at the Siena Scripts webpage I now have added dates for files, so you can see immediately when there is a new version.

Best regards,

Tom

>       <- matrix(nrow=5, ncol=2)" while the number of rows must be 50.
> 
>     * the siena01Gui() call is futile because currently you cannot
>       specify any models. If you want to, instead of opening the
>       fix(effects) screen, you get the error message "Error in
>       `[.data.frame`(name, , priorityColumns) : undefined columns
>       selected". Josh suspected that this may have something to do with
