netseg: a Python Package for Measuring Structural Polarization and Segregation in Social Networks

A new Python package, 'netseg', has been developed to quantify structural polarization and segregation within social networks. This package implements a comprehensive set of established network indices, many of which have been generalized for multi-group analysis and both directed and undirected networks. It aims to address the common issue of unreleased or untested code for these analytical tools, providing a documented and tested solution.

The introduction of a standardized, tested, and documented tool for analyzing network polarization and segregation enhances the reliability and comparability of research in this domain. This can provide more robust insights into group dynamics, information flow, and potential societal divisions, informing strategic decisions related to communication, community building, and risk mitigation.

The 'netseg' Python package quantifies structural polarization and segregation in social networks.
