Overview

About

Maintained by Antonio Rivero OstoicFirst published 2013-08-2837 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Algebraic procedures for analyses of multiple social networks are delivered with this package as described in Ostoic (2020) DOI:10.18637/jss.v092.i11. 'multiplex' makes possible, among other things, to create and manipulate multiplex, multimode, and multilevel network data with different formats. Effective ways are available to treat multiple networks with routines that combine algebraic systems like the partially ordered semigroup with decomposition procedures or semiring structures with the relational bundles occurring in different types of multivariate networks. 'multiplex' provides also an algebraic approach for affiliation networks through Galois derivations between families of the pairs of subsets in the two domains of the network with visualization options.

Install

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

install.packages("multiplex", 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("mplex/multiplex")

Development version from mplex/multiplex. 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-multiplex

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-multiplex

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-multiplex

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