Importing pilesort data into ucinet

Post date: Jul 20, 2016 8:15:17 PM

Three methods:

1. Import a dl file. This is the original anthropac 4.0 format.

• In the main menu, go to Data|Import Text files|DL and give it as input a standard dl file such as the attached holidays.txt (scroll down). Call the output "indprox"

• Go to the CLI (what used to be called matrix algebra) and type:

->agprox = wavg(indprox row col)

• Or, if you prefer using menus, go to Transform|Matrix Operations|Within Dataset|Aggregations and give it indprox as the input, and choose Average as the method

2. Import a visual anthropac file

a. Go to the CLI (what used to be called matrix algebra) and type:

->indprox = loadps("freesortsfromtablet.txt" pile)

->agprox = wavg(indprox row col)

b. Scroll down to download the 'freesortsfromtablet.txt' file

3. Cut and paste from Excel into the DL Editor.

a. Enter data as follows (in the example, there two respondents, separated by a space)

b. Choose “piles” as the format. Then press save button. Call the output Agprox

c. This method has the advantage of creating agprox directly, but has the disadvantage that, if wanted indprox, you can’t have it
