nethist: Network Histograms

Estimates network histograms, a blockmodel approximation to the graphon underlying a network's connectivity pattern, for both single-layer and multilayer networks. Implements graphon estimation methods including the profile-likelihood method of Olhede and Wolfe (2014) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1400374111> and the least-squares method of Gao, Lu, and Zhou (2015) <doi:10.1214/15-AOS1354> for single-layer networks, and the multilayer extension of Song and Olhede (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2608.14536>.
