Cognitive Social Structure Tools

Description

Formalized by Krackhardt (1987), Cognitive Social Structure (CSS) network studies collect relational data on respondents direct ties and their cognition of ties among all other individuals in the network. This package provides a collection of tools for estimating a network from a random sample of CSS slices. The package also contains functions for evaluating a CSS in terms of various error types observed in each slice.
