[statnet_help] TERGM on ego networks

[Allan Clifton via statnet_help]

Hi all- I wanted to get some thoughts on how to analyze our data. We have
about 500 ego participants, with longitudinal data over 6 assessment times.
At each timepoint, they completed an egocentric network of their 20 closest
associates, which included connections between alters, compositional
information about each alter, and allowing alters to enter or leave the
networks.

We want to look at how these networks change over time, and how structural
and compositional changes in the network are related to behavioral change
in the egos. This seems like a question that TERGM would be appropriate
for, but I'm a little daunted about how to do this with 500 ego networks.

Is it possible to use ergm.ego with longitudinal networks? Is there a
better way to approach this? Any suggestions of approaches to try, or
resources to get a better foundation on this type of data would be helpful.

Thank you!
Allan
