论文摘要
ERGM软件包支持网络数据的统计分析和模拟。它锚定了在2008年统计软件杂志的特刊中介绍的r的statnet套件，以用于网络分析。本文概述了ERGM版本4版本的2021年版本的性能改进。这些版本包括对Markov Chain Carlo的性能增强，并使用宽广的搜索网络来探讨Markov Chain Monte Carlo和最大可能性估计算法。
The ergm package supports the statistical analysis and simulation of network data. It anchors the statnet suite of packages for network analysis in R introduced in a special issue in Journal of Statistical Software in 2008. This article provides an overview of the performance improvements in the 2021 release of ergm version 4. These include performance enhancements to the Markov chain Monte Carlo and maximum likelihood estimation algorithms as well as broader and faster searching for networks with certain target statistics using simulated annealing.
