UCINET social network analysis software

KrackPlot: Network visualization

ANTHROPAC: helps to collect and analyze structured qualitative and quantitative data including freelists, pilesorts, triads, paired comparisons, and ratings. ANTHROPAC's analytical tools include techniques that are unique to Anthropology, such as consensus analysis, as well as standard multivariate tools such as multiple regression, factor analysis, cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling and correspondence analysis. In addition, the program provides a wide variety of data manipulation and transformation tools, plus a full-featured matrix algebra language.

FATCAT: A different kind of network analysis program. FATCAT works with categorical who-to-whom matrices, in which you select a variable that describes nodes to determine the categories for rows (who) and another one to determine the categories for columns (whom).

Negopy: One of the oldest network analysis programs, Negopy finds cliques, liaisons, and isolates in networks having up to 1,000 members and 20,000 links. In use at over 100 universities and research centres around the world.

StOCNET: StOCNET is an open software system currently under development that will provide a new platform to make a number of statistical methods that are presently privately owned available to a wider audience. A new version that contains BLOCKS and SIENA can be downloaded

Gradap 2: GRAph Definition and Analysis Package, can be used to define, manipulate, and analyze graphs and networks of various kinds.
