Abstract

We present a user-friendly R package for fitting BISoN models and conducting a wide variety of social network analyses. The package uses a formula-based syntax that will be familiar to R users, and a single core function for fitting edge models that we hope will be accessible to practitioners. We hope our R package will facilitate wider adoption of the BISoN framework, enable more reliable inferences, and allow more sophisticated and specialised analysis of social networks.
