Description: Non-parametric hypothesis testing for populations of brain
    networks represented as graphs, following the L1-distance ANOVA
    framework of Fraiman and Fraiman (2018) <doi:10.1038/s41598-018-21688-0>.
    The package builds on this nonparametric graph-comparison framework,
    extending it with procedures for edge-level inference and identification
    of the specific connections driving group differences. In particular, it
    provides utilities to compute central (mean) graphs, pairwise Manhattan
    distances between adjacency matrices, the group test statistic T, and a
    fast permutation procedure to identify the critical edges that drive
    between-group differences. Helper functions to generate synthetic
    community-structured graphs and to visualise brain networks with
    communities are also included.
