Tools developed to facilitate the establishment of the rank and social hierarchy 
             for gregarious animals by the Si method developed by 
             Kondo & Hurnik (1990)<doi:10.1016/0168-1591(90)90125-W>. It is
             also possible to determine the number of agonistic interactions between two 
             individuals, sociometric and dyadics matrix from dataset obtained through 
             electronic bins. In addition, it is possible plotting the results using a bar plot, box plot, and sociogram.

Methods for sampling contact matrices from diary data for
    use in infectious disease modelling, as discussed in Mossong et al.

The notion of power index has been widely used in literature to evaluate the influence of individual players (e.g., voters, political parties, nations, stockholders, etc.) involved in a collective decision situation like an electoral system, a parliament, a council, a management board, etc., where players may form coalitions. Traditionally this ranking is determined through numerical evaluation. More often than not however only ordinal data between coalitions is known. The package 'socialranking' offers a set of solutions to rank players based on a transitive ranking between coalitions, including through CP-Majority, ordinal Banzhaf or lexicographic excellence solution summarized by Tahar Allouche, Bruno Escoffier, Stefano Moretti and Meltem Öztürk (2020, <doi:10.24963/ijcai.2020/3>).

Social risks are increasingly becoming a critical component of health
    care research. One of the most common ways to identify social needs is by using
    ICD-10-CM "Z-codes." This package identifies social risks using varying taxonomies
    of ICD-10-CM Z-codes from administrative health care data. The conceptual
    taxonomies come from:
