Software Tools for the Statistical Analysis of Network Data

Statnet is a collection of packages for statistical network analysis that are designed to work together because they share common data representations and 'API' design. They provide an integrated set of tools for the representation, visualization, analysis, and simulation of many different forms of network data. This package is designed to make it easy to install and load the key 'statnet' packages in a single step. Learn more about 'statnet' at < http://www.statnet.org>. Tutorials for many packages can be found at < https://github.com/statnet/Workshops/wiki>. For an introduction to functions in this package, type help(package='statnet').

Data Analysis for IP Addresses and Networks

Classes and functions for working with IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and networks, inspired by the Python 'ipaddress' module. Offers full support for both IPv4 and IPv6 (Internet Protocol versions 4 and 6) address spaces. It is specifically designed to work well with the 'tidyverse'.

Sparse Multiple Canonical Correlation Network Analysis Tool ('SmCCNet')

A canonical correlation based framework ('SmCCNet') designed for the construction of phenotype-specific multi-omics networks. This framework adeptly integrates single or multiple omics data types along with a quantitative or binary phenotype of interest. It offers a streamlined setup process that can be tailored manually or configured automatically, ensuring a flexible and user-friendly experience. Methods are described in Shi et al. (2019) "Unsupervised discovery of phenotype-specific multi-omics networks" .

Disease-Drived Differential Proteins Co-Expression Network Analysis

Functions designed to connect disease-related differential proteins and co-expression network. It provides the basic statics analysis included t test, ANOVA analysis. The network construction is not offered by the package, you can used 'WGCNA' package which you can learn in Peter et al. (2008) . It also provides module analysis included PCA analysis, two enrichment analysis, Planner maximally filtered graph extraction and hub analysis.

Network Analysis and Causal Inference Through Structural Equation Modeling

Estimate networks and causal relationships in complex systems through Structural Equation Modeling. This package also includes functions for importing, weight, manipulate, and fit biological network models within the Structural Equation Modeling framework as outlined in the Supplementary Material of Grassi M, Palluzzi F, Tarantino B (2022) .

Graph/Network Visualization

Build graph/network structures using functions for stepwise addition and deletion of nodes and edges. Work with data available in tables for bulk addition of nodes, edges, and associated metadata. Use graph selections and traversals to apply changes to specific nodes or edges. A wide selection of graph algorithms allow for the analysis of graphs. Visualize the graphs and take advantage of any aesthetic properties assigned to nodes and edges.

A Shiny Application for End-to-End Bayesian Decision Network Analysis and Web-Deployment

A Shiny application for learning Bayesian Decision Networks from data. This package can be used for probabilistic reasoning (in the observational setting), causal inference (in the presence of interventions) and learning policy decisions (in Decision Network setting). Functionalities include end-to-end implementations for data-preprocessing, structure-learning, exact inference, approximate inference, extending the learned structure to Decision Networks and policy optimization using statistically rigorous methods such as bootstraps, resampling, ensemble-averaging and cross-validation. In addition to Bayesian Decision Networks, it also features correlation networks, community-detection, graph visualizations, graph exports and web-deployment of the learned models as Shiny dashboards.

Exploratory Graph Analysis – a Framework for Estimating the Number of Dimensions in Multivariate Data using Network Psychometrics

Implements the Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA) framework for dimensionality and psychometric assessment. EGA estimates the number of dimensions in psychological data using network estimation methods and community detection algorithms. A bootstrap method is provided to assess the stability of dimensions and items. Fit is evaluated using the Entropy Fit family of indices. Unique Variable Analysis evaluates the extent to which items are locally dependent (or redundant). Network loadings provide similar information to factor loadings and can be used to compute network scores. A bootstrap and permutation approach are available to assess configural and metric invariance. Hierarchical structures can be detected using Hierarchical EGA. Time series and intensive longitudinal data can be analyzed using Dynamic EGA, supporting individual, group, and population level assessments.

Tools for Identifying Important Nodes in Networks

Includes assorted tools for network analysis. Bridge centrality; goldbricker; MDS, PCA, & eigenmodel network plotting.

Graph Plotting Methods, Psychometric Data Visualization and Graphical Model Estimation

Weighted network visualization and analysis, as well as Gaussian graphical model computation. See Epskamp et al. (2012) .
