Several methods have been developed to integrate structural equation modeling techniques with network data analysis to examine the relationship between network and non-network data. Both node-based and edge-based information can be extracted from the network data to be used as observed variables in structural equation modeling. To facilitate the application of these methods, model specification can be performed in the familiar syntax of the 'lavaan' package, ensuring ease of use for researchers. Technical details and examples can be found at <https://bigsem.psychstat.org>.

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.

Includes assorted tools for network analysis. Bridge centrality; goldbricker; MDS, PCA, & eigenmodel network plotting.

Network trees recursively partition the data with respect to covariates. Two network tree algorithms are available: model-based trees based on a multivariate normal model and nonparametric trees based on covariance structures. After partitioning, correlation-based networks (psychometric networks) can be fit on the partitioned data. For details see Jones, Mair, Simon, & Zeileis (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11336-020-09731-4>.
