Computer Programs for Social Network Analysis

Computer Programs for Social Network Analysis

Programs that convert data from one format into a different format
Adj2Neg, a program for converting adjacency matrices to NEGOPY-style data in which there is one line of data per link. Each line begins with two ID numbers, telling who the link is from and who it goes to, followed by some values that describe the link (eg. strength, duration, content, channel, time, place, etc...) Besides making the data available for NEGOPY, this makes it much easier to work the data and reduces the number of errors that are inadvertently introduced when attempting to edit the data, especially for larger networks.


Neg2Adj, a program for converting NEGOPY-style data into adjacency matrices for input to UCINET and other programs that require that format. Accepts up to 2,000 nodes and 60,000 links.


Free2Fix, a program that parses and converts free-format files into fixed-format files for MultiNet and other programs that require a fixed format.
