NetworkToolbox - Methods and Measures for Brain, Cognitive, and Psychometric Network Analysis

Implements network analysis and graph theory measures used in neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology. Methods include various filtering methods and approaches such as threshold, dependency (Kenett, Tumminello, Madi, Gur-Gershgoren, Mantegna, & Ben-Jacob, 2010 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0015032>), Information Filtering Networks (Barfuss, Massara, Di Matteo, & Aste, 2016 <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.94.062306>), and Efficiency-Cost Optimization (Fallani, Latora, & Chavez, 2017 <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005305>). Brain methods include the recently developed Connectome Predictive Modeling (see references in package). Also implements several network measures including local network characteristics (e.g., centrality), community-level network characteristics (e.g., community centrality), global network characteristics (e.g., clustering coefficient), and various other measures associated with the reliability and reproducibility of network analysis.

SemNetCleaner - An Automated Cleaning Tool for Semantic and Linguistic Data

Implements several functions that automates the cleaning and spell-checking of text data. Also converges, finalizes, removes plurals and continuous strings, and puts text data in binary format for semantic network analysis. Uses the 'SemNetDictionaries' package to make the cleaning process more accurate, efficient, and reproducible.

SemNetDictionaries - Dictionaries for the 'SemNetCleaner' Package

Implements dictionaries that can be used in the 'SemNetCleaner' package. Also includes several functions aimed at facilitating the text cleaning analysis in the 'SemNetCleaner' package. This package is designed to integrate and update word lists and dictionaries based on each user's individual needs by allowing users to store and save their own dictionaries. Dictionaries can be added to the 'SemNetDictionaries' package by submitting user-defined dictionaries to <https://github.com/AlexChristensen/SemNetDictionaries>.

SemNeT - Methods and Measures for Semantic Network Analysis

Implements several functions for the analysis of semantic networks including different network estimation algorithms, partial node bootstrapping (Kenett, Anaki, & Faust, 2014 <doi:10.3389/fnhum.2014.00407>), random walk simulation (Kenett & Austerweil, 2016 <http://alab.psych.wisc.edu/papers/files/Kenett16CreativityRW.pdf>), and a function to compute global network measures. Significance tests and plotting features are also implemented.

L0ggm - Smooth L0 Penalty Approximations for Gaussian Graphical Models

Provides smooth approximations to the L0 norm penalty for estimating sparse Gaussian graphical models (GGMs). Network estimation is performed using the Local Linear Approximation (LLA) framework (Fan & Li, 2001 <doi:10.1198/016214501753382273>; Zou & Li, 2008 <doi:10.1214/009053607000000802>) with five penalty functions: arctangent (Wang & Zhu, 2016 <doi:10.1155/2016/6495417>), EXP (Wang, Fan, & Zhu, 2018 <doi:10.1007/s10463-016-0588-3>), Gumbel, Log (Candes, Wakin, & Boyd, 2008 <doi:10.1007/s00041-008-9045-x>), and Weibull. Adaptive penalty parameters for EXP, Gumbel, and Weibull are estimated via maximum likelihood, and model selection uses information criteria including AIC, BIC, and EBIC (Extended BIC). Simulation functions generate multivariate normal data from GGMs with stochastic block model or small-world (Watts-Strogatz) network structures.

latentFactoR - Data Simulation Based on Latent Factors

Generates data based on latent factor models. Data can be continuous, polytomous, dichotomous, or mixed. Skews, cross-loadings, wording effects, population errors, and local dependencies can be added. All parameters can be manipulated. Data categorization is based on Garrido, Abad, and Ponsoda (2011) <doi:10.1177/0013164410389489>.
