Overview

About

Maintained by Mohammed SaqrCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Building, analysis and visualisation of temporal networks. Supports several formats of relational data: interval data with explicit start and end times, contact data of instantaneous events, threaded interactions such as forum or chat data, and co-presence logs. Every analysis returns a tidy data frame carrying proper vertex labels. Metrics cover time-varying centrality, graph-level structure, edge formation and dissolution, burstiness, time-respecting paths, reachability and mixing. Offers a wide variety of network visualisations and animations, as well as plots of temporal network metrics across time.

Changes in 0.5.1

CRAN resubmission. The pathways() example pools three named sources instead of all fourteen, and the animate() examples draw fewer frames, so every example runs in well under a second.
thought_chains is documented as based on the *Trees of Thought* study (Saqr, López-Pernas and Törmänen, 2026) with about 20 percent of the records removed, dates and rates changed and anonymised, and the data augmented by simulation.
mooc_people cites its source chapter directly; a stale reference to a removed article is gone from the mooc_posts example.
The package help page carries the current Description, and a local-only reproduction script no longer ships.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("Dynet", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("mohsaqr/Dynet")

Development version from mohsaqr/Dynet. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-Dynet

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-Dynet

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
