A binary network (of class matrix) with selected blockmodel type and level of errors.
Arguments
BM
An image matrix of a blockmodel; of class matrix with possible values "nul" and "com".
LE
Desired level of errors.
size
A vector with the values specifying clusters' sizes. The number of elements of this vector must be the same as the number of clusters specified by an image matrix.
symmetric
Wheter a symmetric network should be generated.

Details
The level of errors (LE) is used to simulate the extent of inconsistencies in blockmodels. It is defined on
a scale between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds to an ideal blockmodel, and 1 corresponds to a totally randomised
network with the same density as in the ideal blockmodel.
