Dear Julia community, I have a question regarding network analysis in Julia. I apologize if this is the wrong section, I couldn’t decide for a better one.

Are you aware of any packages for sound network structural balance analysis, e.g. [testing for balance like Feng et al.(2018)](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Testing-for-Balance-in-Social-Networks-Feng-Altmeyer/9fa4ee7486956ba8d748aef8f93ed0d3358c62e8) or [computing triadic census like networkx in Python](https://networkx.github.io/documentation/stable/reference/algorithms/generated/networkx.algorithms.triads.triadic_census.html#networkx.algorithms.triads.triadic_census)?

If such a package does not exist, we’re considering writing one. If a similar one exists, we’d love to contribute. I have looked around JuliaGraphs, but couldn’t find anything of the sort.

Thanks!
