AlterLab Sna

Applies social-network-analysis method discipline to relational data — degree/betweenness/closeness/eigenvector centrality and PageRank, community detection (Louvain, greedy-modularity, and — from networkx 3.7 — Leiden native in networkx; igraph/leidenalg for large graphs), and inferential network models (ERGM) — choosing the measure that matches the substantive question and the right dependence assumptions, then routing computation to the existing networkx (and igraph/R) tooling. Use when the request mentions social network analysis, centrality, key players/brokerage, community or cluster detection in a network, ERGM, or modeling ties between nodes. For general graph algorithms and plotting prefer alterlab-networkx; for graph neural networks prefer alterlab-torch-geometric. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
