Description: An implementation of methods for extracting a sparse
        unweighted network (i.e. a backbone) from an unweighted network
        (e.g., Hamann et al., 2016 <doi:10.1007/s13278-016-0332-2>), a
        weighted network (e.g., Serrano et al., 2009
        <doi:10.1073/pnas.0808904106>), or a weighted projection (e.g.,
        Neal et al., 2021 <doi:10.1038/s41598-021-03238-3>).
