abstract: 'Additive and multiplicative effects models for both cross-sectional and
  longitudinal network analysis. The package provides two main functions: ame() for
  cross-sectional networks and lame() for longitudinal networks. It supports square
  and rectangular network structures. Key features include: (1) Cross-sectional network
  analysis via ame() with support for binary, continuous, ordinal, and count data;
  (2) Longitudinal network analysis via lame() with additive sender/receiver and multiplicative
  latent-factor effects that can evolve over time through AR(1) processes (Sewell
  and Chen (2015) <https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.2014.988214>; Durante and Dunson
  (2014) <https://doi.org/10.1093/biomet/asu040>); (3) Handling of changing actor
  compositions across time periods in longitudinal models; (4) Performance improvements
  through C++ implementations via ''Rcpp'' and ''RcppArmadillo''.'
