InitErgmTerm.delnodematch

Create a nodematch term where node attributes come from the previous network's
node attribute `attr`. The previous network used is the one indexed by the current `GroupID`
(equivalent to `lag=1` previously). This constructs a temporary node attribute `delnodecov_&lt;attr&gt;`
on the current network (copied from the previous net) and calls `nodematch` on that attribute.

Extends the 'ergm.multi' packages from the Statnet suite to fit (temporal) exponential-family random graph models for signed networks. The framework models positive and negative ties as interdependent, which allows estimation and testing of structural balance theory. The package also includes options for descriptive summaries, visualization, and simulation of signed networks. See Krivitsky, Koehly, and Marcum (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11336-020-09720-7> and Fritz, C., Mehrl, M., Thurner, P. W., & Kauermann, G. (2025) <doi:10.1017/pan.2024.21>.
