NetIn is a python package for network inference.
It is based on the NetworkX package and provides a set of methods to study network inequalities.
The package is currently under development and will be updated regularly.

Simple examples
---------------

Create an undirected network with preferential attachment and homophily.

.. code:: pycon

    >>> from netin.models import PAHModel
    >>> m = PAHModel(n=200, k=2, f_m=0.2, h_MM=0.1, h_mm=0.9, seed=42)
    >>> m.simulate()


Create a directed network with preferential attachment and homophily.

.. code:: pycon

    >>> from netin.models import DPAHModel
    >>> m = DPAHModel(n=200, f_m=0.2, d=0.02, h_MM=0.1, h_mm=0.6, plo_M=2.0, plo_m=2.0, seed=42)
    >>> m.simulate()
