  group.sep = "-", time.sep = "-")

Arguments

data	A data.frame with the data to be read in.
ego.id, alter.id	Character scalars. Names of the variables in dat that correspond to the ids of ego and alter. It does not need to be numeric (see details).
group.id	Character vector.
time	Character vector.
group.sep	Character scalar.
time.sep	Character scalar.
