multiplex: Algebraic Tools for the Analysis of Multiple Social Networks

Algebraic procedures for analyses of multiple social networks are provided with this package as described in Ostoic (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v092.i11>. 'multiplex' supports the creation and analysis of multiplex, multimode, and multilevel network data in various formats. It combines methods based on partially ordered semigroups, decomposition procedures, semiring structures, and relational bundles for multivariate network analysis. It also provides an algebraic approach to affiliation networks using Galois derivations, with visualization options.
