Collection of functions for fast manipulation, handling, and analysis of large-scale
    networks based on family and social data. Functions are utility functions used to manipulate data
    in three "formats": sparse adjacency matrices, pedigree trio family data, and pedigree family data.
    When possible, the functions should be able to handle millions of data points quickly for use in combination
    with data from large public national registers and databases.

Linear regression model and generalized linear models with nonparametric network effects on network-linked observations. The model is originally proposed by Le and Li (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2007.00803> and is assumed on observations that are connected by a network or similar relational data structure. A more recent work by Wang, Le and Li (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.01163> further extends the framework to generalized linear models. All these models are implemented in the current package. The model does not assume that the relational data or network structure to be precisely observed; thus, the method is provably robust to a certain level of perturbation of the network structure. The package contains the estimation and inference function for the model.

Implements some risk measures for (financial) networks, such as DebtRank, Impact Susceptibility, Impact Diffusion and Impact Fluidity.

Provides a variety of Network Scale-up Models for researchers to analyze Aggregated Relational Data, mostly through the use of Stan. In this version, the package implements models from Laga, I., Bao, L., and Niu, X (2021) <arXiv:2109.10204>, Zheng, T., Salganik, M. J., and Gelman, A. (2006) <doi:10.1198/016214505000001168>, Killworth, P. D., Johnsen, E. C., McCarty, C., Shelley, G. A., and Bernard, H. R. (1998) <doi:10.1016/S0378-8733(96)00305-X>, and Killworth, P. D., McCarty, C., Bernard, H. R., Shelley, G. A., and Johnsen, E. C. (1998) <doi:10.1177/0193841X9802200205>.

Several methods have been developed to integrate structural equation modeling techniques with network data analysis to examine the relationship between network and non-network data. Both node-based and edge-based information can be extracted from the network data to be used as observed variables in structural equation modeling. To facilitate the application of these methods, model specification can be performed in the familiar syntax of the 'lavaan' package, ensuring ease of use for researchers.
