RENUMBER is a utility program for working with network data. Thepurpose of the program is to renumber the individuals in a set of network data so that the new ID numbers run consecutively from 1 to N, where N is the number of individuals in the network. NEGOPY assumes the ID numbers run from 1 to N. With NEGOPY, individuals with no links are classified as Isolates. Sometimes, however, you may find yourself with a data set in which the ID numbers do not run from 1 to N. If you leave these unused numbers in the data, NEGOPY will think those fifty people are isolates, when in reality they are not part of the network. Passing your data through RENUMBER will prevent this from happening. The program will accept original ID numbers running from 1 to 30,000; there can be up to 100 columns of information after the ID number carried over from the original to the updated files. Most recent version: November, 1995.
