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.

Weighted, Two-Mode, and Longitudinal Networks Analysis

Binary ties limit the richness of network analyses as relations are unique. The two-mode structure contains a number of features lost when projection it to a one-mode network. Longitudinal datasets allow for an understanding of the causal relationship among ties, which is not the case in cross-sectional datasets as ties are dependent upon each other.

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 Analysis for Omics Data

Comprehensive network analysis package. Calculate correlation network fastly, accelerate lots of analysis by parallel computing. Support for multi-omics data, search sub-nets fluently. Handle bigger data, more than 10,000 nodes in each omics. Offer various layout method for multi-omics network and some interfaces to other software ('Gephi', 'Cytoscape', 'ggplot2'), easy to visualize. Provide comprehensive topology indexes calculation, including ecological network stability.

Modeling and Inferring Gene Networks

Analyzes gene expression (time series) data with focus on the inference of gene networks. In particular, GeneNet implements the methods of Schaefer and Strimmer (2005a,b,c) and Opgen-Rhein and Strimmer (2006, 2007) for learning large-scale gene association networks (including assignment of putative directions).

Biological and Chemical Data Networks

Data Package that includes several examples of chemical and biological data networks, i.e. data graph structured.

Network Dynamic Temporal Visualizations

Renders dynamic network data from 'networkDynamic' objects as movies, interactive animations, or other representations of changing relational structures and attributes.

Analyzing Partial Rankings in Networks

Implements methods for centrality related analyses of networks. While the package includes the possibility to build more than 20 indices, its main focus lies on index-free assessment of centrality via partial rankings obtained by neighborhood-inclusion or positional dominance. These partial rankings can be analyzed with different methods, including probabilistic methods like computing expected node ranks and relative rank probabilities (how likely is it that a node is more central than another?). The methodology is described in depth in the vignettes and in Schoch (2018) .

Methods and Measures for Brain, Cognitive, and Psychometric Network Analysis

Implements network analysis and graph theory measures used in neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology. Methods include various filtering methods and approaches such as threshold, dependency (Kenett, Tumminello, Madi, Gur-Gershgoren, Mantegna, & Ben-Jacob, 2010 ), Information Filtering Networks (Barfuss, Massara, Di Matteo, & Aste, 2016 ), and Efficiency-Cost Optimization (Fallani, Latora, & Chavez, 2017 ). Brain methods include the recently developed Connectome Predictive Modeling (see references in package). Also implements several network measures including local network characteristics (e.g., centrality), community-level network characteristics (e.g., community centrality), global network characteristics (e.g., clustering coefficient), and various other measures associated with the reliability and reproducibility of network analysis.

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.
