Credits

This library was originally based on the book: Multilayer Social Networks, by Dickison, Magnani & Rossi, Cambridge University Press (2016). The methods contained in the library and described in the book have been developed by many different authors: extensive references are available in the book, and in the documentation of each function we indicate the main reference we have followed for the implementation. For some methods developed after the book was published we give references to the corresponding literature.

The package uses functions from eclat https://borgelt.net/eclat.html, for association rule mining, Infomap https://www.mapequation.org, for the Infomap community detection method, and Howard Hinnant's date and time library https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date. The code from these libraries has been included in our source package, and may not be the latest version released by the authors.
