concorR: The concorR Package

Description Author(s) References

Description

concorR implements the CONCOR (CONvergence of iterated CORrelations) algorithm as introduced by Breiger, Boorman, and Arabie (1975) and detailed by Wasserman and Faust (1994). This package includes the concor algorithm itself, and some useful functions for plotting and interpreting the outputs. The plotting methods included are: plotting the overall network with the concor partitions as colors (using the igraph package), plotting a blockmodel using the concor partitions (using the sna package), and plotting reduced network graphs showing the connections between concor partitions (again using igraph).
