Output of mainVEM obtained on dataset generated_Q3 with kernel method and Qmin=Qmax=5.
generated_sol_kernelSolution for Q=5 clusters, containing 5 components:
tauMatrix with size \(Q\times n\) containing the estimated probability in \((0,1)\) that cluster \(q\) contains node \(i\).
JEstimated value of the ELBO
runWhich run of the algorithm gave the best solution. A run relies on a specific initialization of the algorithm. A negative value maybe obtained in the decreasing phase (for Q) of the algorithm.
convergedBoolean. If TRUE, the algorithm stopped at convergence. Otherwise it stopped at the maximal number of iterations.
This solution was (randomly) obtained using the following code
# WARNING - This is very long
