Implements the data generation from multivariate normal distributions with different graph structures, including "random", "hub", "cluster" and "band".
fastclime.generator(n = 200, d = 50, graph = "random", v = NULL, u = NULL,
g = NULL, prob = NULL, vis = FALSE, verbose = TRUE)An object with S3 class "sim" is returned:
The n by d matrix for the generated data
The covariance matrix for the generated data
The precision matrix for the generated data
The empirical covariance matrix for the generated data
The adjacency matrix of true graph structure (in sparse matrix representation) for the generated data
The number of observations (sample size). The default value is 200.
The number of variables (dimension). The default value is 50.
The graph structure with 4 options: "random", "hub", "cluster" and "band".
The off-diagonal elements of the precision matrix, controlling the magnitude of partial correlations with u. The default value is 0.3.
A positive number being added to the diagonal elements of the precision matrix, to control the magnitude of partial correlations. The default value is 0.1.
For "cluster" or "hub" graph, g is the number of hubs or clusters in the graph. The default value is about d/20 if d >= 40 and 2 if d < 40. For "band" graph, g is the bandwidth and the default value is 1. NOT applicable to "random" graph.
For "random" graph, it is the probability that a pair of nodes has an edge. The default value is 3/d. For "cluster" graph, it is the probability that a pair of nodes has an edge in each cluster. The default value is 6*g/d if d/g <= 30 and 0.3 if d/g > 30. NOT applicable to "hub" or "band" graphs.
Visualize the adjacency matrix of the true graph structure, the graph pattern, the covariance matrix and the empirical covariance matrix. The default value is FALSE
If verbose = FALSE, tracing information printing is disabled. The default value is TRUE.

Given the adjacency matrix theta, the graph patterns are generated as below:
(I) "random": Each pair of off-diagonal elements are randomly set theta[i,j]=theta[j,i]=1 for i!=j with probability prob, and 0 other wise. It results in about d*(d-1)*prob/2 edges in the graph.
(II)"hub":The row/columns are evenly partitioned into g disjoint groups. Each group is associated with a "center" row i in that group. Each pair of off-diagonal elements are set theta[i,j]=theta[j,i]=1 for i!=j if j also belongs to the same group as i and 0 otherwise. It results in d - g edges in the graph.
(III)"cluster":The row/columns are evenly partitioned into g disjoint groups. Each pair of off-diagonal elements are set theta[i,j]=theta[j,i]=1 for i!=j with the probability probif both i and j belong to the same group, and 0 other wise. It results in about g*(d/g)*(d/g-1)*prob/2 edges in the graph.
(IV)"band": The off-diagonal elements are set to be theta[i,j]=1 if 1<=|i-j|<=g and 0 other wise. It results in (2d-1-g)*g/2 edges in the graph.
The adjacency matrix theta has all diagonal elements equal to 0. To obtain a positive definite precision matrix, the smallest eigenvalue of theta*v (denoted by e) is computed. Then we set the precision matrix equal to theta*v+(|e|+0.1+u)I. The covariance matrix is then computed to generate multivariate normal data.
