		Longitudinal Additive and Multiplicative Effects Models for
		Networks // Additive and multiplicative effects models for both
		cross-sectional and longitudinal network analysis. The package
		provides two main functions: ame() for cross-sectional networks
		and lame() for longitudinal networks. It supports square and
		rectangular network structures. Key features include: (1)
		Cross-sectional network analysis via ame() with support for
		binary, continuous, ordinal, and count data; (2) Longitudinal
		network analysis via lame() with additive sender/receiver and
		multiplicative latent-factor effects that can evolve over time
		through AR(1) processes (Sewell and Chen (2015)
		doi:10.1080/01621459.2014.988214; Durante and Dunson (2014)
		doi:10.1093/biomet/asu040); (3) Handling of changing actor
		compositions across time periods in longitudinal models; (4)
		Performance improvements through C++ implementations via 'Rcpp'
		and 'RcppArmadillo'.
