#' subnetsim: Validating that a specific subnetwork has significantly more
#' interactions than expected by randomness
#'
#' This package implements a simulation analysis, based on bootstrapping, for
#' testing the hypothesis that a selected subnetwork, which is part of a larger
#' network, has more interactions than expected by randomness. To do so,
#' subnetworks with the same number of nodes than the tested subnetwork are randomly
#' generated by bootstrapping. Three measures of connectivity are used to validate the
#' hypothesis: the number of nodes in the subnetwork including all the first-degree
#' neighbor nodes, the number of links in the subnetwork including all the links
#' of the first-degree neighbor nodes and the number of links in the subnetwork.
