Re conversion of a set of egonet data to whole nets, Caroline
Haythornthwaite and I once wrote a paper on how to do this, using SAS
code. Actually, Caroline did all the hard work (code, testing); I did some
of the writing. Warning, it is olde, but may provide some useful ideas. It
was published in Karl Van Meter's always-useful journal.

Ego-Centered Networks to Whole Networks." Bulletin de Methode Sociologique
