Pessoal, O autor de um artigo me enviou um pacote utilizado, mas ainda não disponível no CRAN por falta de documentação. Tentei construir e instalar o pacote utilizando o Rtolls. o RCMDda um feedback como ok, mas quando tento instalar ou montar o pacote ele tenta rodar um "sh" e falha na leitura do Description File do pacote. Detalhe, isso ocorre no Windows, no Ubunto funcionou, mas preciso rodar no windows tbm. Alguma dica de como fazer? Os arquivos seguem em anexo. Abs e obrigado ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carter T. Butts <buttsc@uci.edu> Date: 2010/2/26 Subject: Re: About relevent To: Fernando Colugnati <fernando@ipti.org.br> Hi, Fernando. Just a quick FYI - I sent you the working development version, which I belatedly realized is still being worked on (and may have transient issues). Attached is the latest stable version...might be best to use that until the next one is finalized. Thanks, -Carter Fernando Colugnati wrote:

Dear Carter, Thanks a lot! For sure I'll let you know about any bug, and by the way to solve any hard "doubt" I cannot deal with...

All the best

Hi, Fernando -

Dear Dr Butts,

My name is Fernando Colugnati, I am a Brazilian researcher at the Research Institutte for Technology and Innovation, working on analysis of WEB 2.0 tools. I am statistician.

I found your paper "A relational event framework for social action" really interesting, and want to model Discussion Forums using that approach. I would like to ask you if it is possible to use the R package cited, in the article, RELEVENT, to test in some datasets I have, having my mais interest in compare forums related to content interest and social relationship, both from a distance course platform, having an intersection set of authors that played in both forums. The package will be used for research actvities only, and if you need I can send you more details, or share results as the research goes forward.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards

No problem. Here is the R source package; it's not yet on CRAN because the documentation could use some work, but the basic routines are documented. The two main functions are rem and rem.ego, the former being designed for dyadic models of the sort used in the paper, and the latter being originally intended for "egocentric" event data (although, in point of fact, it can actually be used to fit a wider range of models, given appropriate specification of the model statistics). The main routines have been tested a fair amount (in their core functionality, at least), but this is still a beta package and under active development...please let me know if you find any bugs.

Hope this helps!

-Carter
