The hRU is an R package currently under development. It includes many helpful utilities for complex data management and analysis, with a particular focus on network data.
The hRU will be available on CRAN in Fall 2026. In the meantime, please feel free to use the provisional versions linked below. THe best method is to load the hRU workspace directly into R (use the *.RData file). Using the hRU as a workspace is less elegant than a package installation but it is a much simpler method.
