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. First, by connecting several open networks in the network collection manager and second, by loading an RSiena session file\footnote{same format as saved by using \texttt{Save to file} in the RSiena Gui or needed for loading files by \texttt{Load new session from file}, see \cite{rs-10}}



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