Re: UCINET matrix editor unable to open file
Hi, so many things to check …
?
-
Does the dataset open in “display datasets” (sixth button from the left on the toolbar)?
-
Is there both a ##h and ##d file? i.e., looking in windows explorer.
-
How did you create the dataset? Can you redo it?
-
Etc.

Hello,
I'm getting started as a new UCINET user. Whenever I open the matrix editor and try to open the ##h file, I get the following error message: "Unable to open file SCRATCH. ##D for INPUT." Does?any?of you know how to solve this problem?

Hi Dr. Borgatti,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I will definitely do the above!?

Re: #error #help N-clique and Kplex analysis help needed

Dear “student”, are you using the 64-bit version of ucinet? The n-clique routine is not compatible with that version – you should be getting an error message to that effect. So use the 32-bit version instead.
The k-plex routine does work with both versions, but you’re right that the browse button (three dots) wasn’t working. I have now fixed that (version 6.781, online now). As for the output, it consists of a node by k-plex) matrix in which X(i,q)? = 1 indicates
that node i is a member of k-plex q. In other words, this is a 2-mode matrix in which each column identifies a k-plex, and indicates which nodes belong to the k-plex. As a next step, you might run that matrix through Data|Affiliations to calculate a 1-mode
matrix that indicates, for each pair of nodes, how many k-plexes they belong to in common. Two nodes that belong to many of the same k-plexes are members of the same social circle.

I am a student using UCINET VI (Version 6.776 for Windows), and I'm having issues doing N-clique and kplex analysis with my class social network data. When I do Network > Communities/Subgroups > N-cliques, nothing happens and no tab opens
allowing me to specify the n-value.
Also, when I do Network > Communities/Subgroups > K-plexes, the three dots don't work (so I can't select a file and instead had to manually type in the name of my file). When I click OK, I just got a confusing matrix with 28 rows and 79 columns and nothing
else. There's nothing that says the number of 2k-plexes in the network.?
I'd greatly appreciate some help troubleshooting these!

[Edited Message Follows]
Stephen, hello! Two quick questions.
1) Would a replication and extension of a previously published finding be something that Connections would consider?
2) Does Connections still welcome Data Exchange Network submissions? I ask because in my consulting practice here in Scandinavia, I've collected several network datasets from over a dozen companies and public organizations in the region (Sweden, Norway, and
Finland), as well as outside of it (Dubai, Qatar, and Peru). Since I'm not really an academic anymore, I've only written one research paper from these datasets (Hunter, Bentzen, & Taug 2020). If others might find them useful, I'd be willing to begin turning
them into one or more DEN submissions.?

Re: Consensus Structure Data from Krackhardt 1987
Steve again thanks! Actually, something else just occurred?to me...is it possible to generate the ties that are only in Fig 2 in the paper i.e. the consensus network with 0.5 as the threshold? thoughtfully Starling

It looks like fig 2 is a consensus structure using .5 as the threshold. I think it matches too.

Hello everyone!
I was pulled up the "Krack-High-Tec" dataset in Netdraw and generated the "Advice" network, as shown below. It has 190 ties.
I went back to study how the dataset was generated and (re-)discovered that there were a few different sociograms depicted in the paper. Figure 1 in the paper was the LAS or locally aggregated structure. Figure 2 was the sociogram of the
consensus structure.?
I mention all of this because I can't figure our the relationship between the sociogram that I've generated with the "Krack-High-Tec" dataset? and the sociograms in Figures 1 and 2 of the paper.
Any help/insight would be most appreciated!

The older routine that you’re familiar with is still available as Data|Legacy Routines|Submatrix.

Hello, I'm teaching a short course and tried to use an old exercise originally designed by Martin Everett. In the prior version of UCINET, it was possible to take the camp92 dataset, use Data > Extract and keep column 1, and then use Data
> Spreadsheet to change the column values to 0 for females and 1 for males. This would then set up the possibility of checking whether the camp92 data exhibited homophily by gender. The latest version of UCINET doesn't seem to allow extracting a column and
changing values in this way. Is there a workaround?

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who had this issue! And I'm also glad that the legacy procedure is still in place, thank you for the screenshot.
I never had an issue with the legacy procedure and long pathnames, the only difference I can see between the legacy version and the new version is the dialog box where you add the IV. I just tried it again with a long pathname for the DV, and it worked fine. It just seems to be an issue with the dialog box when the filename is longer than one row.

Hi Steve and Dan,
I have not tried this for a year or perhaps more.
But, yes, I have had the same problems with several different
versions of regression in UCINET.
I never figured out the specific details (e.g. max path length).
I dealt with with this by making short folders and short file
names. And not running the procedures in subfolders or
subsubfolders. This allowed it to work.
Whatever the problem is, the max path text length limit is
different and shorter for UCINET than it is for Windows. I know
this because I can use the same long paths with other programs,
but not with UCINET.
Sincerely,
DBT

Hi
I'm used to using the legacy procedure for node level
regression, but it seems to have been removed from the
latest update to UCInet. I have had problems in the past
getting the current version of the procedure working, with
a message saying "Error: Unable to open file SCRATCH.##D
for INPUT."
It turns out that the file pathname I was using for the
independent variable was too long. When the file appeared
in the "In model:" dialog box it wrapped around to a
second line, but when I moved the file to a root directory
it stopped being an issue.
I don't know if this is a known issue, but it had been
problematic for me for a while, and I couldn't find
anything about it on the forum. I thought I would mention
it in case any one else had the same issue.
Is there a fix for this other than moving the file or
renaming folders?
