imaginarycss: Tools for Studying Imaginary Cognitive Social Structure

Provides functions to measure and test imaginary cognitive social structure (CSS) motifs, which are patterns of perceived relationships among individuals in a social network. Includes tools for calculating motif frequencies, comparing observed motifs to expected distributions, and visualizing motif structures. Implements methods described in Tanaka and Vega Yon (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2023.11.005>.
