Re: [igraph] Advanced Statistical Tools?

[Gábor Csárdi]

Dear Tom,

indeed, we don't have this in igraph. I think that statnet is very
good at this and we don't want to compete with them.

What would be nice, is an interface to the statnet packages, so that
one could simply use igraph graphs to fit ergm models, etc. But I
don't know the statnet internals enough to have better ideas about how
exactly this could be done.

Best,
Gabor
