What is NetMiner

Cyram NetMiner is an innovative software tool for Exploratory Network Data Analysis and
Visualization. It is noteworthy to underline its unique feature of the integration of standard

social network analysis (SNA) methodology with modern network visualization (or graph

drawing) techniques in the spirit of exploratory data analysis (EDA).

Cyram NetMiner allows you to explore your network data visually and interactively, and it
facilitates the detection of underlying patterns and structures of the network.

Cyram NetMiner can analyze large-size networks composed of a maximum of million nodes. It
includes not only 110 network analysis/visualization modules but general statistical analysis

modules, machine learning based analysis modules and chart modules.

Cyram NetMiner is a GUI-and-script-based software package that provides both GUI mode
and script mode, providing the best of both worlds – being easy to use on the GUI side and

expandability on the script side. NetMiner Script is GUI-based, which means that execution in

the script mode is exactly the same as the execution in the GUI mode, not only in terms of the

results but in terms of the process as well. By using scripts the user can handle processes more

finely.

Cyram NetMiner can be employed for general research, teaching and professional analysis in
social networks. In addition, it can be effectively applied to various business fields, where

network-structural factors may critically influence performance: e.g. intra- and inter-

organizational, financial, web, criminal/intelligence, info- metric, telecommunication,

distribution, transportation networks.

■ Overview

Getting Started handles basic functions of NetMiner 4 for the beginners who are not familiar to
the unique interface of this software. This Guide is intended to help the beginners just to follow

the explanation step by step and to have experience about the main features of NetMiner 4.

Getting Started does not give full explanation of every feature of this software.

You can find the Sample Data used in this Guide:

C:\Users\(User-name)\NetMiner\SampleData\Example_for_Getting_Started
Or, www.netminer.com >> Community >> SNA Forum >> [NetMiner] example_for_Getting_Started.zip

1. Sample Data Used in This Guide

 In this step, we will first give you some explanation about the sample data we will use in

the guide. You will import this sample data into NetMiner at the next step.

 Although you can create new data using NetMiner, in most data analysis, data is provided

as an external file with formats such as xls, txt, csv etc.

 This sample data has not been altered in order not to give any error message in the process

of importing. As almost every data analysis software requires that users perform data

cleansing process on import external file, NetMiner 4 also needs this data cleansing process.

 Please check the following files:

- Main Node_employee.xls

- 1-mode Network_work interact.xls

- 2-mode Network_purchase.xls
- Getting Started.nmf

19
Getting Started with NetMiner

 “Getting Started.nmf” is a NetMiner Project File. All the process explained in this guide is
contained in this Project file for your convenience, which can be opened by just double-

clicking it. Other three files are built as Microsoft Excel files. String at the left side of the

underscore, “_”, of the file name represents the type of each file, and the string at the right

side of the underscore, “_”, represents the content of each file. Main Node, 1-mode

Network Data, 2-mode Network Data is commonly used data-types, and NetMiner can

handle these types of data in an integrated DataSet.


Let’s look at each data.

 Main Node_employee.xls: Yellow-colored leftmost column represents Nodeset. This

nodeset includes 22 employees. Green-colored uppermost row represents Attribute. White-

colored rows contain attribute information of each employee regarding “Department,” “Job-

ranking,” “Gender,” and “Education” attributes. You may notice that this kind of data,

which can be used for meaningful network analysis such as blockmodeling, is in fact not

specific for a network analysis, but common in most data analysis software, which

computes statistical measures.

20
Getting Started with NetMiner

 1-mode Network_work interact.xls: Yellow-colored uppermost row and leftmost column


are for the same Nodeset. Each node at the leftmost column represents source node, while

each node at the uppermost row represents target node. This kind of network data is called

as 1-mode network, because source Nodeset equals to the target Nodeset. Nodeset in this

data includes 22 employees from “Main Node_emplyee.xls” file. White-colored cells

represent how often the source node contacts the target node for “work interact,” as the file

title implies.

 2-mode Network_purchase.xls: Yellow-colored column represents source nodes of 22


employees. Orange-colored row represents target nodes of 10 commodities that the 22

employees purchased. In this example, source Nodeset is not the same as the target Nodeset,

and this kind of data is called 2-mode network data. White-colored each cell represents how

many each employee purchased the target commodities as the file title implies. The source

Nodeset of 22 employees in this 2-mode network is the Nodeset that comprises the previous
1-mode network. We call this Nodeset as Main Nodeset. The target Nodeset (10

commodities) in the 2-mode network is called as Sub Nodeset.

21
Getting Started with NetMiner

 We have checked 3 types of data included in the sample data folder. These data are

commonly used types for network data analysis. Now we are going to import these data

into NetMiner and perform some analyses with visualization. Please note that this guide

does not provide every feature in detail, but help beginners to explore some main features

of NetMiner 4 in step-by-step manner.

2. Launching NetMiner
 If your NetMiner 4 is installed with default option, you may see the shortcut icon on the

Desktop of your computer as follows.

 To launch NetMiner 4, double click the NetMiner 4 shortcut icon or execute the “NetMiner

4.exe” file in the NetMiner 4 installation folder. If you installed NetMiner 4 at default

folder, you may find this file in the following folder:

“C:\Program Files\Cyram\NetMiner 4”

 You can see the following splash image while the NetMiner 4 is being launched.

22

Menu: File >> Import >> Excel file.

23
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Step 2. Click Browse button at the top area of this dialogue box for selecting Excel file to
import. We are going to import the “Main Node_employee.xls” file for the first time. Select

this file in the file selection dialogue box and click OK. You can see some part of the

selected data in the Preview area.

 Check the Column Header check box at Headers area because the “Main Node

employee.xls” has column header that describes attribute of each node. You can check it by

opening the imported Excel file. You will see that the color of the column header changes to
gray color after you check the box.

 Select Main Nodeset in the Data Type area.

 Select New in the Target Workfile area.

 Select Insert Newly discovered nodes in the Data Integrity Option area.

 Click OK if you have selected the options in this dialogue box as mentioned above.

24

 Step 3. You can see the Workfile created in Workfile Tree area and the contents of the

Workfile in the Current Workfile area.

 Step 4. If you double click the Main Nodeset in Current Workfile area, you can see the
imported data in the right side of the program as follow.

25
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Step 5. Now we are going to import 1-mode Network data and 2-mode Network data into

NetMiner successively. These data will be imported to the current Dataset that contains
only one Nodeset data by following the Step 1 to Step 4. (Just for your information, all the

three sample data will be stored in the integrated DataSet of the last Workfile.) Detailed
description of data structure of NetMiner is described in “Using NetMiner - Concepts –

Data Structure.”

 Launch the dialogue box for importing (Main Menu: File >> Import >> Excel File) and

select options in the dialogue box for importing data as follows.

 Click Browse button at the top area of this dialogue box for selecting Excel file to import.

We are going to import the “1-mode Network_work interact.xls” file. Select this file in the
file selection dialogue box and click OK. You can see some part of the selected data in the

Preview area.

 Check the Column Header and Row Header check box at Headers area.

 Select 1-mode network data in the Data Type area and select Matrix as a type of 1-mode

network data.

 Select Current in the Target Workfile area.

26
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Select Insert Newly discovered nodes in the Data Integrity Option area.

 Click OK if you have selected the options in this dialogue box as mentioned above:

 Step 6. You can see that the 1-mode network data item is added to the current DataSet by
checking the Current Workfile area. If you double click the data item, you can see the 1-

mode network data at the right side of the program. In Workfile Tree area, a new item is

expanded from the first Workfile. (Note: New Workfile is expanded from the current

Workfile automatically whenever any change occurs in Current Dataset.) This automatic

expansion will help the analyst to track the history of the data analysis.

27
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Step 7. In the same way, you can import the 2-mode network data.

 Launch the dialogue box for importing (Main Menu: File >> Import >> Excel File) and

select options in the dialogue box for importing data as follows.

 Click Browse button at the top area of this dialogue box for selecting Excel file to import.

We are going to import the “2-mode Network_purchase.xls” file. Select this file in the file
selection dialogue box and click OK. You can see some part of the selected data in the

Preview area.

 Check the Column Header and Row Header check box at Headers area.

 Select 2-mode network data in the Data Type area and select Matrix as a type of 2-mode

network data. Leave the Target Nodeset as default selection.

 Select Current in the Target Workfile area.

 Select Insert Newly discovered nodes in the Data Integrity Option area.

 Click OK if you have selected the options in this dialogue box as above.

28
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Step 8. You can view the imported 2-mode network data as below. Another item is
expanded in the Workfile Tree area. Double click the 2-mode network data item at Current

Workfile area and the 2-mode network data will be shown at the right side of the program.

 All the three sample data are now imported into NetMiner, we are ready for quick-tour on

29
Getting Started with NetMiner

NetMiner main features such as data editing, transforming, analysis, visualization etc, from

right next section below.

4. Editing Data
 NetMiner has useful and powerful editing functions. You may be familiar with NetMiner

editing interface from spread sheet software, but its interface is specialized in users’

handling of network data.

 Current Workfile Area shows the hierarchical data structure from the imported sample data

from the previous steps, which include Main Nodeset, 1-mode Network data, Sub Nodeset

and 2-mode Network data. Each item is automatically named based upon the source

filename. If item name is too long to handle, you can rename the item name in Current

Workfile by right-clicking to menu “rename” or by pressing F2 function key. We have

changed the name of each item as shown below. Try it!

 Workfile Tree shows how many data transformation has been made after the import. Each

leaf expansion of item in the tree structure represents new data transformation on top of

prior dataset. In other words, the final Workfile of the structure include all the information

including the prior two dataset; therefore, for the sake of briefness, you can simply delete

those two Workfiles by selecting the Workfiles and pressing the F2 Function key or “Delete”

menu in the mouse right button menu.

30
Getting Started with NetMiner

 What we have done so far is saved in “Getting Started.nmf.” If you had a difficulty in

following the previous steps, you can use this file to continue from this point.

 Now we are going to edit each data in Current Workfile.

 Modifying weight in 1-mode network data: First, let’s look at the imported 1-mode
network data in NetMiner. Double click the 1-mode network data item in Current Workfile

which is designated by red lined box in the following picture.

 You can see that there is no link from “Jessica” to “Anna” in the following picture. Now
let’s modify the cell value as “3”. Just click the cell and input “3”. We have added new link

with weight “3”. It is easy to change the cell value in Matrix View. NetMiner editing panel

has 3 views: Matrix, Edge List and Map. You can change it by selecting the inner tab at
the bottom of the editing panel. Detailed explanation is covered in “Using NetMiner -

Concept – Work Environment”.

31
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Adding Main Nodeset Attribute Item: Double click the red lined data item which

represents the Main Nodeset of this Workfile, you can see the Main Nodeset and attributes
at the right side of the panel.

 Click “Insert Attribute” in the mouse right click menu at the column label area in the

editing panel. You can see the “New Node Attribute” dialogue box for adding attribute item.

32
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Input the Attribute Name as “Duration,” select the Attribute Type as “Number,” and click

OK. You will see the new column with the cell values of “-999.999” as shown below. “-

999.999” in NetMiner means that the value of the cell is not provided or means Missing

Value. Input cell values of “Duration” column as below:

 Full explanation about the editing in NetMiner is covered in “Using NetMiner - Tasks –

Data Handling – Editing Data”.

5. Drawing Network Map

 Here you will learn to draw network map. Generally in network data analysis, visualization

gives the intuition about the global pattern of data and a starting point to dig up.

33
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Select main menu: Visualize >> Spring >> 2D (CTRL+1).

 You can see a Session is created as shown below. It is composed of two parts. At the left
side of it, 22 nodes without links are scattered. At the right side of it, there are various

options for selecting and controlling. We will call the left side as “Output Panel” and the

right side as “Control Panel.” In addition, each item in the Control Panel is called

“Control Item”. You can find its full description in “Using NetMiner -Concepts – Work
Environment”

 Check the “work_interact” check box in the “Network” Control Item. You will see new
links created between nodes on the Output Panel without change of the coordinates of the

nodes. Press “Run Layout” button in the Control Panel without modifying other options. A

network map will be drawn according to the layout algorithm selected in the Control Panel.

34
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Full explanation about visualization is covered in “Using NetMiner - Tasks – Visual

Exploration”.

6. Styling Nodes by Node Attribute

 Each node on the network map drawn at the previous step represents employee. You can

give each of these nodes different style (shape, color, size) according to the attribute of each

node. For example, we are going to give different color to the nodes based upon its

department attribute.

 Click the icon surrounded by the red box in the Tool Bar as shown below:

 You can see a dialogue box for giving different style to each node according to the attribute

of node.

 Select Color tab. And select Variable as “Node Attribute – Department” as follows. And

click Apply button.

35
Getting Started with NetMiner

 You can see the color of each node change as follows. Using NetMiner, you can give any

style to any selected nodes and links. Full description is covered in “Using NetMiner -

Tasks – Visual Exploration – Styling Nodes and Links”.

7. Saving Network Map


 To save the network map as picture file, click main menu “Map – Capture Map – To File.”

 NetMiner supports BMP, JPG, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) formats for saving picture.

36
Getting Started with NetMiner

8. Recording Network Map


 Let's recording network map for presentation. You can use recording by Video control panel

when map report is activated.

 If you click "Record New" button, the recording begins. On the contrary, if you want to

stop recording, "Record Stop" button.

 If recording is finished, 'Time slide bar' is appeared. You can play, stop, pause the video

using 'Time slide bar'.

9. Performing Data Analysis


 Let us explain how to generate output results. For example, we are going to calculate the

“Degree Centrality” of each node. Degree Centrality is a measurement for centrality of


each node based on “how many direct neighbors a node have.”

 Click main menu “Analyze >> Centrality >> Degree” for analyzing Degree Centrality.
You can see a Session created. Output results will be shown at the left gray colored side. At

37
Getting Started with NetMiner

the right side of it, you can see a few options for selection. Select “work_interact” in the

Input Control Item. Click “Run Process” button at the bottom of the Control Panel.
 You can see that the output results are generated at the left side. Each of these outputs can

be selected by the Inner Tab at the bottom of the output panel as follows. As the output

results of the “Degree Centrality” analysis, “Main Reports, Degree Centrality Vector,
Spring Map and Concentric Map” is generated at the same time. You can check each of

these outputs by clicking the inner tab.

10. Using Output Results

 Let’s employ the previous output results for another process in NetMiner. We are going to

draw box plot comparing the “In Degree Centrality” value with respect to “Gender”. For
this process, we need to add the previous result of “In Degree Centrality Vector” to the

attribute of Main Node.

 At the bottom of the Output Panel, click the Degree Centrality Vector Inner Tab, and then

click the main menu “Data >> Add Output Table >> Main Node Attribute.”

38
Getting Started with NetMiner

 You can see the dialogue box for selecting data as follows. Select “In-Degree Centrality”

and click OK.

 Now you can check the added “In-Degree Centrality” vector in the Main Node Attribute

data as follows. Double click the employee in the Current Workfile and you can check the

added attribute as follows. This added attribute can be used for another process that requires

main node attribute data.

39
Getting Started with NetMiner

 Click main menu “Chart >> Box Plot.” We are going to compare the “In Degree

Centrality” with respect to “Gender.” So select the control panel option as follows:

Dependant Variable: In-Degree Centrality, Independent Variable: Gender.

 Click “Run Process” button, and check the box plot in the Output Panel at the left side.

11. Saving Project and Exit

 At the first save time, you can set a password for security to NetMiner and NetMiner

40
Getting Started with NetMiner

Viewer.

 When you need to exit NetMiner or to open (create) another NetMiner project, you need to

select the saving option as follows. “Untitled Project” will be removed, unless you save it.

 You can save your file by selecting “File >> Save (CTRL + S)”.

 The extension for the NetMiner Project file is NMF.
