If you're an R user, you can perform these sorts of analyses with the
sna package.  (You can get both from http://www.r-project.org/; the sna
package is under "contributed packages" on CRAN.)  For information,
(some) references, and examples, take a look at the help for the
routines hdist(), sdmat(), structdist(), netlm(), and netlogit().  You
might also be interested in gdist.plotdiff() and gdist.plotstats(),
which are of use in visualizing various properties of graph sets (i.e.,
multiple networks).

Hope that helps,
