Analysis of network and relational data using additive and multiplicative
effects (AME) models. The basic model includes regression terms,
the covariance structure of the social relations model
(Warner, Kenny and Stoto (1979), Wong (1982)), and multiplicative
factor effects (Hoff(2009)). Four different link functions accommodate
different relational data structures, including binary/network data (bin),
normal relational data (nrm), ordinal relational data (ord) and data from
fixed-rank nomination schemes (frn). Several of these link functions are
discussed in Hoff, Fosdick, Volfovsky and Stovel (2013). Development of this
software was supported in part by NICHD grant R01HD067509.
