Data

The following pages give brief descriptions of a number of data sets and provide the data in formats that can be used by SIENA. All data sets are collected in "zip" files and have a bit of documentation about the data collection. Some data sets have a ".csv" file that can be used in the RSiena function sienaDataCreateFromSession and also in the siena01Gui and the visone interface.

Some data sets have, for those who still use SIENA 3, examples of some ".in" files that can be used by those who wish to run SIENA 3 outside of StOCNET. Note that this now is out of date, and superseded by RSiena.
