VL - 98 IS - 8 SE - Articles DO - 10.18637/jss.v098.i08 UR - https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/view/v098i08 SP - 1 - 30 AB - Multiplex social networks are characterized by a common set of actors connected through multiple types of relations. The multinet package provides a set of R functions to analyze multiplex social networks within the more general framework of multilayer networks, where each type of relation is represented as a layer in the network. The package contains functions to import/export, create and manipulate multilayer networks, implementations of several state-of-the-art multiplex network analysis algorithms, e.g., for centrality measures, layer comparison, community detection and visualization. Internally, the package is mainly written in native C++ and integrated with R using the Rcpp package. ER -
