statnet is a suite of R packages for the management, exploration, statistical analysis, simulation and vizualization of network data. Our statistical modeling framework relies on Exponential-family Random Graph Models (ERGMs). All of our software is open source (GPL-3), with development on GitHub, and packages published to the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN).
