Longitudinal networks can be statistically analysed by using RSiena from within visone.

Supported is the analysis of one-mode networks with fixed set of actors. Not supported are two-mode networks, multiple networks, multilevel (multi-group) networks, composition change of actors, and multi-parameter tests.

For using the RSiena interface you need to define a network collection that contains your longitudinal networks.

There are two ways for defining a network collection: + by connecting several open networks in the network collection manager + by loading an RSiena session file.



add all of the open networks that belong to your longitudinal network. Here, the order of adding defines the oder of observations.

Only network collections that are siena compatible in this sense can be analysed. All operations are performed on the \emph{active} network collection that can be set in the network collection diaglogue.
