[Rsiena-help] Matching matrices

[Nate Doogan]

Hey Matt.

Take a look at the RSiena manual for some examples. There's some examples
with Pajek data, specifically.

Generally speaking, I believe there are two methods of indicating
structurally missing values--structural zeros (value 10) placed directly
within the matrices, and the creation of an exogenous events file (manual
section 2.1). The latter allows more precision if you know exactly when
actors left the setting.
