nett

nett is an R package for the analysis of network data with a focus on community detection and implements multiple methods for hypothesis testing. It includes model selection and goodness-of-fit tests of SBM/DCSBM to network data, which are useful in network statistical analysis. Some of the implemented functionality are follows:

• Spectral clustering with regularization
• Conditional pseudo-likelihood for community detection (Amini, Chen, Bickel and Levina).
• Spectral goodness-of-test for SBM and DCSBM (inspired by Bickel and Sarkar, and Lei's work).
• Likelihood ratio tests and BIC selection for SBM and DCSBM (inspired by Wang and Bickel's work among others.)
• Likelihood computations for SBM and DCSBM.
• Network Adjusted Chi-square test for SBM and DCSBM (Zhang and Amini).
• Bethe-Hessian Selection for DCSBM (inspired by Le and Levina's work).
• ...

Most of the computations haven been adapted to Poisson models to make them fast and scalable.
