fastnet: An R Package for Fast Simulation and Analysis of Large-Scale Social Networks

Subject

social network analysis, network simulation, network metrics, multi-core processing, sampling.

Description

Traditional tools and software for social network analysis are seldom scalable and/or
fast. This paper provides an overview of an R package called fastnet, a tool for scaling
and speeding up the simulation and analysis of large-scale social networks. fastnet uses
multi-core processing and sub-graph sampling algorithms to achieve the desired scale-up
and speed-up. Simple examples, usages, and comparisons of scale-up and speed-up as
compared to other R packages, i.e., igraph and statnet, are presented
