The Goldfish package in R
The Goldfish package in R is a software for the analysis of time-stamped network data using a variety of models. In particular, it implements different types of Dynamic Network Actor Models (DyNAMs), a class of models that is tailored to the study of actor-oriented network processess through time. Goldfish also implements different versions of tie-oriented relational event models.

Collaborators
The Goldfish package is jointly developed by members of the Chair of Social Networks at ETH Zürich and James Hollway at the Graduate Institute in Geneva.
The name Goldfish refers to the (incorrect) assertion that goldfish - like Markov processes - are memoryless.
