Siena - Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis
Description
The main purpose of this package is to perform simulation-based
estimation of stochastic actor-oriented models for longitudinal network
data collected as panel data. Dependent variables can be single or
multivariate networks, which can be directed, non-directed, or two-mode;
and associated actor variables.
There are also functions for testing parameters and checking goodness of fit.
An overview of these models is given in Tom A.B. Snijders (2017), Stochastic
Actor-Oriented Models for Network Dynamics, Annual Review of Statistics and
Its Application, 4, 343-363 .
An extensive manual, scripts, and much further information is at the Siena
website .
