Random Network Model Estimation, Selection and Parameter Tuning

Model fitting, model selection and parameter tuning procedures for a class of random network models. Many useful network modeling, estimation, and processing methods are included. The work to build and improve this package is partially supported by the NSF grants DMS-2015298 and DMS-2015134.

Construction, Simulation and Analysis of Boolean Networks

Functions to reconstruct, generate, and simulate synchronous, asynchronous, probabilistic, and temporal Boolean networks. Provides also functions to analyze and visualize attractors in Boolean networks .

Generalized Multipartite Networks

We define generalized multipartite networks as the joint observation of several networks implying some common pre-specified groups of individuals. The aim is to fit an adapted version of the popular stochastic block model to multipartite networks, as described in Bar-hen, Barbillon and Donnet (2020) .

Optimal Channel Networks

Generate and analyze Optimal Channel Networks (OCNs): oriented spanning trees reproducing all scaling features characteristic of real, natural river networks. As such, they can be used in a variety of numerical experiments in the fields of hydrology, ecology and epidemiology. See Carraro et al. (2020) for a presentation of the package; Rinaldo et al. (2014) for a theoretical overview on the OCN concept; Furrer and Sain (2010) for the construct used.

Clustering on Network of Samples

Wires together large collections of single-cell RNA-seq datasets, which allows for both the identification of recurrent cell clusters and the propagation of information between datasets in multi-sample or atlas-scale collections. 'Conos' focuses on the uniform mapping of homologous cell types across heterogeneous sample collections. For instance, users could investigate a collection of dozens of peripheral blood samples from cancer patients combined with dozens of controls, which perhaps includes samples of a related tissue such as lymph nodes. This package interacts with data available through the 'conosPanel' package, which is available in a 'drat' repository. To access this data package, see the instructions at < https://github.com/kharchenkolab/conos>. The size of the 'conosPanel' package is approximately 12 MB.

Many Ways to Make, Modify, Mark, and Measure Myriad Networks

Many tools for making, modifying, marking, measuring, and motifs and memberships of many different types of networks. All functions operate with matrices, edge lists, and 'igraph', 'network', and 'tidygraph' objects, on directed, multiplex, multimodal, signed, and other networks. The package includes functions for importing and exporting, creating and generating networks, modifying networks and node and tie attributes, and describing networks with sensible defaults.

Algebraic Tools for the Analysis of Multiple Social Networks

Algebraic procedures for analyses of multiple social networks are delivered with this package as described in Ostoic (2020) . 'multiplex' makes possible, among other things, to create and manipulate multiplex, multimode, and multilevel network data with different formats. Effective ways are available to treat multiple networks with routines that combine algebraic systems like the partially ordered semigroup with decomposition procedures or semiring structures with the relational bundles occurring in different types of multivariate networks. 'multiplex' provides also an algebraic approach for affiliation networks through Galois derivations between families of the pairs of subsets in the two domains of the network with visualization options.

Import and Analyse Ego-Centered Network Data

Tools for importing, analyzing and visualizing ego-centered network data. Supports several data formats, including the export formats of 'EgoNet', 'EgoWeb 2.0' and 'openeddi'. An interactive (shiny) app for the intuitive visualization of ego-centered networks is provided. Also included are procedures for creating and visualizing Clustered Graphs (Lerner 2008 ).

Network Meta-Analysis Using Bayesian Methods

Network meta-analyses (mixed treatment comparisons) in the Bayesian framework using JAGS. Includes methods to assess heterogeneity and inconsistency, and a number of standard visualizations. van Valkenhoef et al. (2012) ; van Valkenhoef et al. (2015) .

Fit, Simulate and Diagnose Models for Network Evolution Based on Exponential-Family Random Graph Models

An integrated set of extensions to the 'ergm' package to analyze and simulate network evolution based on exponential-family random graph models (ERGM). 'tergm' is a part of the 'statnet' suite of packages for network analysis. See Krivitsky and Handcock (2014) and Carnegie, Krivitsky, Hunter, and Goodreau (2015) .
