### Overview

`dsitR` is an R package for simulating Dynamic Social Impact Theory (DSIT). It models agents with multi-dimensional opinions who influence each other through customizable neighborhoods. The package includes modular tools for simulation, metrics, and visualization of cultural dynamics over time.

### Installation

This R package is not currently on CRAN, but the latest version can be installed and loaded using these R commands:

``` r
if (!require(remotes)) install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("cwendorf/dsitrR")
library(dsitR)
```

If you do not wish a full install, the latest functions can be made available using this R command:

``` r
source("http://raw.githubusercontent.com/cwendorf/dsitR/main/source-dsitR.R")
```

### Usage

This package contains a set of documents to explain and demonstrate its use:

- [Background](./docs/Background.md) - The theoretical background for simulating influence networks
- [Networks](./docs/Networks.md) - The types of agents and neighborhoods used to represent influence networks
- [Visualization](./docs/Visualization.md) - The various graphs used to visualize the influence networks
- [Metrics](./docs/Metrics.md) - The metrics used to measure changes in influence networks
- [Sample](./docs/Sample.md) - The basic code to analyze a simple influence network
