Leon Festinger (8 May 1919 – 11 February 1989) was an American social psychologist, perhaps best known for cognitive dissonance and social comparison theory. His theories and research are credited with repudiating the previously dominant behaviorist view of social psychology by demonstrating the inadequacy of stimulus-response conditioning accounts of human behavior.[1] Festinger is also credited with advancing the use of laboratory experimentation in social psychology,[2] although he simultaneously stressed the importance of studying real-life situations,[3] a principle he perhaps most famously practiced when personally infiltrating a doomsday cult.

He is also known in social network theory for the proximity effect (or propinquity).[4] Life[edit] Early life and education[edit] Career[edit] In 1945, Festinger joined Lewin’s newly formed Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an assistant professor.

Jürgen Pfeffer, from FAS.research, Vienna developed a program that converts Excel datasets into Pajek format: At the Pajek workshop in Portoroz I promised to send you the algorithms to convert Pajek files from an Excel dataset.

Inspired by your program I made an executable windows program which imports the data from an Excel file and converts these data to a pajek file. The program contains an info button, therefore it's not necessary to add an explanation. I think the program is rather fast. The slowest part is the reading of the data out of the Excel cells. The program is created in Delphi 7. Download the program How to? Introdução ao uso do Pajek. Tutorial Pajek. Gephi, an open source graph visualization and manipulation software.

The igraph library for complex network research. June 24, 2015 Release Notes This is a new major release, with a lot of UI changes. We tried to make it easier to use, with short and easy to remember, consistent function names. Unfortunately this also means that many functions have new names now, but don't worry, all the old names still work. Apart from the new names, the biggest change in this release is that most functions that used to return numeric vertex or edge ids, return vertex/edge sequences now. This requires some time to get used to and if you want the numeric ids instead, just use the as.vector() function on the vertex/edge sequences. We will update the documentation on this site, once the package is on CRAN and available for all architectures. More → January 16, 2015 A couple of days ago we changed how we use GitHub for igraph development.

Main igraph repositories now: April 21, 2014 Some bug fixes, to make sure that the code included in 'Statistical Analysis of Network Data with R' works. Detailed changes: February 4, 2014 More → S Routines for Social Network Analysis in the R Environment. Most of which involve social network analysis, though a wee bit 'o other stuff is available as well.... Introduction and Caveats This page serves, as one might expect, to allow other researchers to access some of the data analysis tools I've developed in the S language. The implementation of S used here is that of the R Statistical Computing Environment , rather than the common alternative of S-PLUS ; the intrepid could doubtless port these routines from one flavor of the language to the other, however.
