title: 'Blaunet: Calculate and Analyze Blau Statuses for Measuring Social Distance'
version: 3.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.Blaunet
abstract: Calculate and analyze Blau statuses for quantifying social distance between
  individuals belonging to organizations. Relational (network) data can be incorporated
  for additional analyses. The methods build on affiliation ecology and Blau space
  as described by McPherson (1983) <https://doi.org/10.2307/2117719>, McPherson and
  Ranger-Moore (1991) <https://doi.org/10.1093/sf/70.1.19>, McPherson, Popielarz and
  Drobnic (1992) <https://doi.org/10.2307/2096202>, McPherson and Rotolo (1996) <https://doi.org/10.2307/2096330>,
  and McPherson (2004) <https://doi.org/10.1093/icc/13.1.263>. The implementation
  of Blau-space analyses in 'Blaunet' is described by Genkin et al. (2018) <https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0204990>.
