Examples

# Get data
data <- open.clean

# Organize group data
## Get group data
group <- open.group

## Low and high openness to experience groups
low <- data[which(group == "Low"),]
high <- data[which(group == "High"),]

## Not run: 
# Compute networks
low.net <- CN(low)
high.net <- CN(high)

## End(Not run)
