#' @details
#' The statistical framework of temporal exponential random graph models (TERGMs)
#' provides a rigorous, flexible approach to estimating generative models for
#' dynamic networks and simulating from them for the purposes of modeling infectious
#' disease transmission dynamics. TERGMs are used within the \code{EpiModel} software
#' package to do just that. While estimation of these models is relatively fast,
#' the resimulation of them using the tools of the \code{tergm} package
#' is computationally burdensome, requiring hours to days to iteratively resimulate
#' networks with co-evolving demographic and epidemiological dynamics. The
#' primary reason for the computational burden is the use of the \code{network}
#' class of object (designed within the package of the same name); these objects
#' have tremendous flexibility in the types of networks they represent but at the
#' expense of object size. Continually reading and writing larger-than-necessary
#' data objects has the effect of slowing the iterative dynamic simulations.
#'
#' The \code{tergmLite} package reduces that computational burden by representing
#' networks less flexibly, but much more efficiently. For epidemic models, the only
#' types of networks that we typically estimate and simulate from are undirected,
#' binary edge networks with no missing data (as it is simulated). Furthermore,
#' the network history (edges or node attributes) does not need to be stored for
#' research-level applications in which summary epidemiological statistics (e.g.,
#' disease prevalence, incidence, and variations on those) at the population-level
#' are the standard output metrics for epidemic models. Therefore, the network
#' may be stored as a cross-sectional edgelist, which is a two-column matrix
#' of current edges between one node (in column one) and another node (in column two).
#' Attributes of the edges that are called within ERGMs may be stored separately in
#' vector format, as they are in \code{EpiModel}. With this approach, the simulation
#' time is sped up by a factor of 25-50 fold, depending on the specific research
#' application.
