tau_Qm1

tau for a model with Q-1 latent blocks

nbOfTau

number of initializations for the latent block memberships

nbOfPointsPerTau

number of initializations of the latent binary graph associated with each initial latent block memberships

data

data vector in the undirected model, data matrix in the directed model

modelFamily

probability distribution for the edges. Possible values: Gauss, Gamma

model

Implemented models:

Gauss: all Gaussian parameters of the null and the alternative distributions are unknown ; this is the Gaussian model with maximum number of unknown parameters
Gauss0: compared to Gauss, the mean of the null distribution is set to 0
Gauss01: compared to Gauss, the null distribution is set to N(0,1)
GaussEqVar: compared to Gauss, all Gaussian variances (of both the null and the alternative) are supposed to be equal, but unknown
Gauss0EqVar: compared to GaussEqVar, the mean of the null distribution is set to 0
Gauss0Var1: compared to Gauss, all Gaussian variances are set to 1 and the null distribution is set to N(0,1)
Gauss2distr: the alternative distribution is a single Gaussian distribution, i.e. the block memberships of the nodes do not influence on the alternative distribution
GaussAffil: compared to Gauss, for the alternative distribution, there's a distribution for inter-group and another for intra-group interactions
Exp: the null and the alternatives are all exponential distributions (i.e. Gamma distributions with shape parameter equal to one) with unknown scale parameters
ExpGamma: the null distribution is an unknown exponential, the alterantive distribution are Gamma distributions with unknown parameters

directed

booelan to indicate whether the model is directed or undirected
