MoNAn package

The Mobility Network Analysis (MoNAn) packge is the implementation of the method for the analysis of mobility newtorks as outlined in Block et al. (2022) in the statistical environment R. The software is hosted on github and available on CRAN.

The latest version of the software is published here. Documentation of the package can be found in the helpfiles of the package, in the README on github, in the MoNAnExampleScript.R  on github and in the comprehansive MoNAn Manual.

Note that we are constantly improving usability and extending functionality. Thus, the manual and the package are frequently updated; please make sure you stay up-to-date with the latest developments.

We hosted a small workshop for students and researchers that are interested in using the method and R package from Wed, 04 Oct 2023 (mid-day) to Fri, 06 Oct 2023 (early afternoon) at the University of Zurich. The workshop covered the theory of the method, as well as the software implementation. Ample time was dedicated to discussion and hands-on experience with the package. Participants were encouraged to bring their own data.

This workshop was primarily aimed at researchers that have a concrete research project in mind, preferably with a clear idea of the data to be used. Working knowledge of intermediate statistics (e.g. logistic regression) is required. Prior knowledge in statistical network methods (e.g. ERGMs) is helpful. Since the package is in its development stage, familiarity with R is necessary.

Material for the workshop can be found here.

The next workshop is planned for October 2024, please get in touch if you are interested.
