backbone - Extracts the Backbone from Networks

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>).

incidentally - Generates Incidence Matrices and Bipartite Graphs

Functions to generate incidence matrices and bipartite graphs that have (1) a fixed fill rate, (2) given marginal sums, (3) marginal sums that follow given distributions, or (4) represent bill sponsorships in the US Congress <doi:10.31219/osf.io/ectms>. It can also generate an incidence matrix from an adjacency matrix, or bipartite graph from a unipartite graph, via a social process mirroring team, group, or organization formation <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2204.13670>, or examine the space of binary matrices with fixed marginals.

childfree - Access and Harmonize Childfree Demographic Data

Reads demographic data from a variety of public data sources, extracting and harmonizing variables useful for the study of childfree individuals. The identification of childfree individuals and those with other family statuses uses Neal & Neal's (2024) "A Framework for Studying Adults who Neither have Nor Want Children" <doi:10.1177/10664807231198869>; A pre-print is available at <doi:10.31234/osf.io/fa89m>.

KOLaide - Pick and Plot Key Opinion Leaders from a Network Given Constraints

Assists researchers in choosing Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in a network to help disseminate or encourage adoption of an innovation by other network members. Potential KOL teams are evaluated using the ABCDE framework (Neal et al., 2025 <doi:10.31219/osf.io/3vxy9_v1>). This framework which considers: (1) the team members' Availability, (2) the Breadth of the team's network coverage, (3) the Cost of recruiting a team of a given size, and (4) the Diversity of the team's members, (5) which are pooled into a single Evaluation score.
