MOSAIC
Modelling Multiway Admixture Using Dense Genotype Data
MOSAIC (MOSAIC Organises Segments of Ancestry In Chromosomes) fits a two-layer Hidden Markov Model to infer fine-scale local ancestry segments and characterise multiway admixture events—including mixing proportions and dates—without requiring prior specification of direct surrogate reference populations.
Statistical Network Analysis
aniSNA
Statistical Network Analysis of Animal Social Networks
Constructs network structures from animal GPS telemetry or observational data and statistically assesses their adequacy and robustness for social network analysis. Includes pre-network data permutations, bootstrapping for confidence intervals on global and node-level metrics, and correlation/regression tools for local network summaries.

Variational Bayes Latent Position Cluster Model for Networks
Fits and simulates latent position and cluster models for social and relational network data using a fast Variational Bayes approximation, scaling latent space network inference to substantially larger graphs than MCMC alone.
