modelSelection_Q: Selects the number of groups with ICL

Description

Selects the number of groups with Integrated Classification Likelihood Criterion

Usage

modelSelection_Q(data, n, Qmin = 1, Qmax, directed = TRUE, sparse = FALSE,
  sol.hist.sauv)

Arguments

data

List with 2 components:

• $Time - [0,data$Time] is the total time interval of observation

• $Nijk - data matrix with the statistics per process $N_{ij}$ and sub-intervals $k$

n

Total number of nodes $n$

Qmin

Minimum number of groups

Qmax

Maximum number of groups

directed

Boolean for directed (TRUE) or undirected (FALSE) case

sparse

Boolean for sparse (TRUE) or not sparse (FALSE) case

sol.hist.sauv

List of size Qmax-Qmin+1 obtained from running mainVEM(data,n,Qmin,Qmax,method='hist')
