Software: UCINET/NetDraw

Used in: Network for Novices, Intro to SNA, Advanced SNA, Health Applications

Workshop participants should bring their own Windows-running laptops, as UCINET and NetDraw are Windows programs. If you are not already a registered user of UCINET, the software will expire after the workshop. If you want to download this software ahead of time (always a good idea in order to make sure it runs on your system, and that you have sufficient rights to install it), just go to:

The NetDraw software is automatically installed when you install UCINET.

Software: R

Used in: Stats for Networks, Stochastic Modeling

The R program provides an environment that will be used for both Siena and ERGM analyses. Download and install from here:

http://cran.r-project.org

Software: SIENA

Used in: Stochastic Modeling

If you are signed up for the stochastic modeling session, you will also be using the R version of the free SIENA software. You should download the software in advance of the workshop. Download the R version of the SIENA program here:

Software: ERGM

Used in: Stochastic Modeling (last day)

The last day of the stochastic modeling workshop will also be using another free R package called ERGM. It is part of a package called STATNET. However, for the workshop, we will be using an older version of the ERGM module, so instead of downloading StatNet from the web, go to our Google Group and download the materials for the ERGM session. To install, follow these instructions:

Step 1. Download and install the R package from http://cran.r-project.org

Step 2. Download ERGM.zip file

Step 3. Install the SNA and ERGM packages into R, as follows:

• Open R, Go to Packages, Select Install packages from local zip files, Find where you saved the ERGM zip file in step 2

• Type: install.packages("sna"); install.packages("network")

If any problems, it should be pretty easy to sort out the day of the workshop (don't panic!). Or email Jeff Smith for help.
