networkLite is an R package that provides an implementation of some of the core network
package
functionality based on a simplified data structure that is faster in many research applications.
This package is designed for back-end use in the statnet family of packages, including EpiModel.
Support is provided for binary and weighted, directed and undirected, bipartite and unipartite
networks; no current support for multigraphs, hypergraphs, or loops.
