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

Description

This is generally used to pull this data from the database, and subsequently subset it for a particular Analysis Set. It is currently used by 'getNetworkSet'.

Usage

getNetwork(pWavVec, pSchVec)

Arguments

pWavVec	An ordered numeric vector of wave SIDs to be included in the analysis. Waves 2, 6, and 10 are summer waves; no Short Survey or Long Survey data were collected. Hence these waves should not ever be specified.
pSchVec	A vector of (integer) School IDs.

Details

Chooser was asked for more information on an individual (if any) designated as Chooser's 'very best friend'. These variables are missing for any alters not so designated, or if Chooser did not make this designation at all.

Value

A dataframe that has the same format as the database table 'PInf.dbo.SAffiliation'. Column names fairly accurately describe column contents, but one should consult the qq codebook for precise definition.

Examples

# Gets edgelist (with addtional info on some alters) for individuals in
# waves 1, 3, and 4, schools 3:6 and 30 (one school district).
net <- getNetwork(c(1,3,4), c(3,4,5,6,30))
