johninpdx/RSTools: Data Mangement Tools for RSiena and Other Network Packages

Implements a three-tier client-server architecture to create data containers that can be used for dynamic social network modeling with RSiena, and other network analysis packages such as sna and network. The *data tier* accesses a SQL Server database containing the raw study data in three primary tables: an "edge list" representation of the networks, a "long form" set of survey records, one per individual per wave (assuming longitudinal data), and a table of non-time-varying characteristics (e.g. gender, birthdate) with one row per individual. The *logic tier* translates database-level data into objects useful for network analyses in R. The *presentation tier* will be a script that implements these functions to carry out network description and modeling.
