A set of extensions for the 'ergm' package to fit weighted networks whose edge weights are ranks. See Krivitsky and Butts (2017) <doi:10.1177/0081175017692623> and Krivitsky, Hunter, Morris, and Klumb (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v105.i06>.

Extends the 'ergm.multi' packages from the Statnet suite to fit (temporal) exponential-family random graph models for signed networks. The framework models positive and negative ties as interdependent, which allows estimation and testing of structural balance theory. The package also includes options for descriptive summaries, visualization, and simulation of signed networks. See Krivitsky, Koehly, and Marcum (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11336-020-09720-7> and Fritz, C., Mehrl, M., Thurner, P. W., & Kauermann, G. (2025) <doi:10.1017/pan.2024.21>.

Provides several validator functions for checking if arguments
    passed by users have valid types, lengths, etc. and for generating
    informative and well-formatted error messages in a consistent style. Also
    provides tools for users to create their own validator functions. The
    error message style used is adopted from
    <https://style.tidyverse.org/error-messages.html>.

Provides a set of functions to solve Erlang-C model. The Erlang C formula was invented by the Danish Mathematician A.K. Erlang and is used to calculate the number of advisors and the service level.

Fits Rasch models (RM), linear logistic test models (LLTM), rating scale model (RSM), linear rating scale models (LRSM), partial credit models (PCM), and linear partial credit models (LPCM).  Missing values are allowed in the data matrix.  Additional features are the ML estimation of the person parameters, Andersen's LR-test, item-specific Wald test, Martin-Loef-Test, nonparametric Monte-Carlo Tests, itemfit and personfit statistics including infit and outfit measures, ICC and other plots, automated stepwise item elimination, simulation module for various binary data matrices.

Estimate the effective reproduction number from wastewater
    and clinical data sources.
