The rem package uses a combination of event history and network analysis to test network dependencies in event sequences. If events in an event sequence depend on each other, network structures and patterns can be calculated and estimated using relational event models. The rem-package includes functions to calculate endogenous network statistics in (signed) one-, two- and multi-mode network event sequences. The statistics include inertia (inertiaStat), reciprocity (reciprocityStat), in- or outdegree statistics (degreeStat), closing triads (triadStat), closing four-cycles (fourCycleStat) or endogenous similarity statistics (similarityStat). The rate of event occurrence can then be tested using standard models of event history analysis, such as a weibull model (remRate).
