Dear all,<br>
I have recently installed the Windows client of the R language as I would like to play around with some of the SNA algorithms found in Žibernas blockmodeling package. One problem is that I simply don&#39;t know R (yet), so I&#39;m digesting the refence manuals as fast as possible.<br>


<br>
However, I guess there are plenty of SNA:ers who are using R in their analyses. Is there a SNA-specific reference to be found somewhere? I am certain that R is a very worthwhile language to learn - and I intend to! - but I&#39;m sort of stuck on simple things like how to load/import network data into R... (I have tried using M&lt;-read.table(&#39;myTabSeparatedData&#39;) but it adds row and column headers - plus that the resulting M object doesn&#39;t seem to be a Matrix object)<br>


<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
Carl<br>
<br>
