A pressing concern at the moment is to get the NetworkX spkg in Sage upgraded to at least version >= 1.0; see ticket #7608 http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7608 R has a third-party package for SNA. The R spkg was recently upgraded to version 2.10.1. I don't see what else one could do about R as NetworkX is (from my experience) much faster than R's sna package for SNA related functionalities (think of networks with tens of thousands of nodes). Over the last year, I have come across some feature requests on the NetworkX mailing list. With some questioning and literature search, it's possible to get an idea of what needs to be implemented/improved in NetworkX and/or Sage for SNA. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
