R Interface to 'Keras'

Interface to 'Keras' < https://keras.io>, a high-level neural networks 'API'. 'Keras' was developed with a focus on enabling fast experimentation, supports both convolution based networks and recurrent networks (as well as combinations of the two), and runs seamlessly on both 'CPU' and 'GPU' devices.

An Simplified Implementation of the 'network' Package Functionality

An implementation of some of the core 'network' package functionality based on a simplified data structure that is faster in many research applications. This package is designed for back-end use in the 'statnet' family of packages, including 'EpiModel'. Support is provided for binary and weighted, directed and undirected, bipartite and unipartite networks; no current support for multigraphs, hypergraphs, or loops.

Additional Layout Algorithms for Network Visualizations

Several new layout algorithms to visualize networks are provided which are not part of 'igraph'. Most are based on the concept of stress majorization by Gansner et al. (2004) . Some more specific algorithms allow the user to emphasize hidden group structures in networks or focus on specific nodes.

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'.

Generalized and Classical Blockmodeling of Valued Networks

This is primarily meant as an implementation of generalized blockmodeling for valued networks. In addition, measures of similarity or dissimilarity based on structural equivalence and regular equivalence (REGE algorithms) can be computed and partitioned matrices can be plotted: Žiberna (2007), Žiberna (2008), Žiberna (2014).

Tools for Accessing the Botanical Information and Ecology Network Database

Provides Tools for Accessing the Botanical Information and Ecology Network Database. The BIEN database contains cleaned and standardized botanical data including occurrence, trait, plot and taxonomic data (See < https://bien.nceas.ucsb.edu/bien/> for more Information). This package provides functions that query the BIEN database by constructing and executing optimized SQL queries.

Extension to 'ggplot2'

The R package 'ggplot2' is a plotting system based on the grammar of graphics. 'GGally' extends 'ggplot2' by adding several functions to reduce the complexity of combining geometric objects with transformed data. Some of these functions include a pairwise plot matrix, a two group pairwise plot matrix, a parallel coordinates plot, a survival plot, and several functions to plot networks.

Siena - Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis

The main purpose of this package is to perform simulation-based estimation of stochastic actor-oriented models for longitudinal network data collected as panel data. Dependent variables can be single or multivariate networks, which can be directed, non-directed, or two-mode; and associated actor variables. There are also functions for testing parameters and checking goodness of fit. An overview of these models is given in Snijders (2017), .

Latent Position and Cluster Models for Statistical Networks

Fit and simulate latent position and cluster models for statistical networks. See Krivitsky and Handcock (2008) and Krivitsky, Handcock, Raftery, and Hoff (2009) .

Tools for Identifying Important Nodes in Networks

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