ergm.sign - Exponential-Family Models for Signed Networks
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)
