Package: gretel Title: Generalized Path Analysis for Social Networks Version: 0.0.1.9000 Date: 2019-08-09 Authors@R: person("David", "Buch", email = "davidbuch42@gmail.com", role = c("aut", "cre"), comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-4574-0075")) Description: The social network literature features numerous methods for assigning value to paths as a function of their ties. 'gretel' systemizes these approaches, casting them as instances of a generalized path value function indexed by a penalty parameter. The package also calculates probabilistic path value and identifies optimal paths in either value framework. Finally, proximity matrices can be generated in these frameworks that capture high-order connections overlooked in primitive adjacency sociomatrices. Novel methods are described in Buch (2019) . More traditional methods are also implemented, as described in Yang, Knoke (2001) .
