I am generating a network diagram in R using #multinma and the #plot function:
library("multinma")
bowl<-read.csv("")
bowl_net<-set_agd_arm(bowl,study= Match,trt=Player,r = Result,n = Games,trt_ref=NULL)
plot(bowl_net, weight_edges = TRUE)
How do I change the line (edges) thicknesses?

1st cousin twice removed - statement of service during WW1.

The discharge of the above named man is hereby approved."

Could it ever not be approved under such consequences?

I finally left that other place.

Hoping to keep in touch with my academic interests, real news and things that make me happy.
