concorR implements the CONCOR (CONvergence of iterated CORrelations) algorithm as
introduced by Breiger, Boorman, and Arabie (1975) and detailed by Wasserman and Faust
(1994). This package includes the concor algorithm itself, and some useful
functions for plotting and interpreting the outputs. The plotting methods included are:
plotting the overall network with the concor partitions as colors (using
the igraph package), plotting a blockmodel using the concor
partitions (using the sna package), and plotting reduced network graphs showing the
connections between concor partitions (again using igraph).
