[Rsiena-help] ordinal response in Rsiena

[Christian Steglich]

Dear Ya,

for analysing ordinal networks, you need to binarise the network series 
at different levels and treat the resulting different series as multiple 
networks (as outlined in the RSiena manual); the software will then 
notice the stacked nature inherent in the network tie variables and obey 
this ordinal nature in the simulation algorithms underlying the 
parameter estimation.

Because this is not yet documented well, be cautious. May I ask who you 
are and what you need this for?

Best,
Ch
