"Oh no, I think I might've broke you." Saunders let out an amused chuckle.
"Oh, shut up. I work just fine. Just wait till I figure out a way to make your toes curl."
"Who says you didn't? It was good for me too, ya know."

For those building on top of {ergm}, there is now an experimental C++ shim (wrappers around C structs) for implementing ERGM statistics and proposals using idiomatic C++. Check out the vignette (cran.r-project.org/package=ergm...). This was easier than I had expected, thanks to coding AIs.

For advanced users, there is a ChangeStats(formula) constraint, which rejects all proposals that change the value of the specified statistics and operator I(x) that substitutes ERGM formula x or initialised model into its formula, it easier to assemble complex formulas out of smaller components.

I ended up involved in some of their big meetings in 96-97 because they wanted GPS terminal guidance and GPS crypto was my portfolio then.

Social Network Analysis: From Basics to ERGM - On-Demand
Join a two-day intensive online workshop on Social Network Analysis (SNA) using R, led by Professor Antonio Zinilli (Research Institute on Sustainable Economic Growth, CNR), designed for PhD students, academics and professional researchers across the social and health sciences. This hands-on course covers data preparation, network visualization, centrality metrics, community detection, basic and advanced analysis with Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM), case studies and best practices, combining practical R skills with the theoretical understanding needed to apply SNA to real research questions. All sessions are livestreamed via Zoom, recordings and materials (including code, data and slides) are available for 30 days, and a monitored Q&A forum will be open for follow-up; participants receive an Instats certificate of completion (ECTS equivalent where indicated). Enhance your research toolkit, unlock new insights from network data, and learn to apply gold-standard methods to your work—register or learn more today.

Social Network Analysis: From Basics to ERGM - Livestream starting Nov 6, 2025 (UTC)
Join a two-day intensive, hands-on workshop on Social Network Analysis (SNA) using R, led by Professor Antonio Zinilli (Research Institute on Sustainable Economic Growth, CNR) — ideal for PhD students, academics, and professional researchers in the social and health sciences. You’ll learn to prepare and visualize network data, compute and interpret centrality measures, detect communities, and apply both basic descriptive techniques and advanced modeling with Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM) through real-world case studies, while also covering ethical best practices. All sessions are livestreamed via Zoom, with recordings, materials and a monitored Q&A forum available for 30 days after the seminar; participants receive an Instats certificate of completion (ECTS equivalent shown for European students). Spaces are limited — find out more and enroll to strengthen your network-analysis skills and advance your research.
