This paper gives a state-of-the-art overview of available software for the statistical analysis of social networks as of Summer 2004. It reviews and compares software packages for social network analysis with respect to their statistical procedures, illustrating some procedures with example data. The choice of routines that were inspected is restricted to procedures for statistical modeling based on probability distributions (e.g., exponential random graph models, QAP correlation, statistical analysis of longitudinal network data). This definition of analysis routines excludes the extensive review of procedure-based routines based on more complex (iterative) algorithms like cluster analysis or eigendecompositions. The paper concludes with some recommendations. Key words: exponential random graph model, longitudinal network data, statistical modelling, software packages, permutation tests. 1
