Main Path Analysis for Citation and Directed Networks
Description
Implements Main Path Analysis (MPA) as introduced by Hummon and Doreian (1989) <doi:10.1016/0378-8733(89)90017-8>. Given a directed acyclic graph (DAG) representing a citation or precedence network, the package computes traversal weights (SPC, SPLC, SPNP) for each edge and extracts the global, local, and key-route main paths. Also provides tools for DAG validation, node role classification (source/terminal/user), per-component path extraction for disconnected networks, and scale-free network testing. Accepts 'igraph' objects or edge-list data frames as input. Includes readers for 'Pajek' (.net) and 'Gephi' export (.gexf, .graphml) files.
