About

Maintained by Kevin A. CarsonFirst published 2025-07-199 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A set of tools for relational and event analysis, including two- and one-mode network brokerage and structural measures, and helper functions optimized for relational event analysis with large datasets, including creating relational risk sets, computing network statistics, estimating relational event models, and simulating relational event sequences. For more information on relational event models, see Butts (2008) doi:10.1111/j.1467-9531.2008.00203.x, Lerner and Lomi (2020) doi:10.1017/nws.2019.57, Bianchi et al. (2024) doi:10.1146/annurev-statistics-040722-060248, and Butts et al. (2023) doi:10.1017/nws.2023.9. In terms of the structural measures in this package, see Leal (2025) doi:10.1177/00491241251322517, Burchard and Cornwell (2018) doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2018.04.001, and Fujimoto et al. (2018) doi:10.1017/nws.2018.11. This package was developed with support from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Human Networks and Data Science Program (HNDS) under award number 2241536 (PI: Diego F. Leal).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("dream", 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("kevinCarson/dream")

Development version from kevinCarson/dream. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-dream

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# 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-dream

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-dream

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
