Description: Calculate and analyze Blau statuses for quantifying social
    distance between individuals belonging to organizations. Relational
    (network) data can be incorporated for additional analyses. The methods
    build on affiliation ecology and Blau space as described by McPherson
    (1983) <doi:10.2307/2117719>, McPherson and Ranger-Moore (1991)
    <doi:10.1093/sf/70.1.19>, McPherson, Popielarz and Drobnic (1992)
    <doi:10.2307/2096202>, McPherson and Rotolo (1996)
    <doi:10.2307/2096330>, and McPherson (2004)
    <doi:10.1093/icc/13.1.263>. The implementation of Blau-space analyses
    in 'Blaunet' is described by Genkin et al. (2018)
    <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0204990>. This project is supported by the
