• Changes to mlvsbm_estimate_generalized_network():
    • Fixed bug when setting the number of clusters.
    • Added init_points and Qmax to the fit_options argument.
    • The default algorithm is now slower but handles better underfitting (fit_option$init_points == “all”). Users may fix it to any other value to revert to the old behavior.
    • When fixing the number of clusters, the algorithm will better explore neighbors models.
    • Returned blocks are reordered so that the affiliation parameters (gamma) is as “diagonal” as possible.
  • Minor bug fix
  • Changed plot function and method of FitMLVSBM object to graphon view type.
  • Improved initialization for networks with missing data.
  • Fixed a bug for directed networks.
  • Added S3 generic function print, plot, predict and coef for FitMLVSBM object.
  • R6 class methods are better documented.
  • Reverse the sbm dependency to blockmodels for future sbm compatibility.
  • Fixed a bug with NA interactions on user functions.
  • added sbm package dependency for better initialization.
  • Added options for mlvl_estimate_network() function.
  • It is now possible to simulate networks with no isolated nodes.
  • Fixed bug with parallel for Windows.
  • Finished user functions.
  • Tutorial.
  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
