lsjm: Latent Space Joint Model

Description

Function to joint modelling of multiple network views using the Latent Space Jont Model (LSJM) Gollini and Murphy (2016). The LSJM merges the information given by the multiple network views by assuming that the probability of a node being connected with other nodes in each view is explained by a unique latent variable.

Usage

lsjm(Y, D, sigma = 1, xi = rep(0, length(Y)), psi2 = rep(2,
  length(Y)), Niter = 500, tol = 0.1^2, preit = 20,
  randomZ = FALSE)

Arguments

Y

list containing a (N x N) binary adjacency matrix for each network view.

D

integer dimension of the latent space

sigma

(D x D) variance/covariance matrix of the prior distribution for the latent positions. Default sigma = 1

xi

vector of means of the prior distributions of \(\alpha\). Default xi = 0

psi2

vector of variances of the prior distributions of \(\alpha\). Default psi2 = 2

Niter

maximum number of iterations. Default Niter = 500

tol

desired tolerance. Default tol = 0.1^2

preit

Preliminary number of iterations default preit = 20

randomZ

logical; If randomZ = TRUE random initialization for the latent positions is used. If randomZ = FALSE and D = 2 or 3 the latent positions are initialized using the Fruchterman-Reingold method and multidimensional scaling is used for D = 1 or D > 3. Default randomZ = FALSE

Value

List containing:

• EZ (N x D) matrix containing the posterior means of the latent positions

• VZ (D x D) matrix containing the posterior variance of the latent positions

• lsmEZ list contatining a (N x D) matrix for each network view containing the posterior means of the latent positions under each model in the latent space.

• lsmVZ list contatining a (D x D) matrix for each network view containing the posterior variance of the latent positions under each model in the latent space.

• xiT vector of means of the posterior distributions of \(\alpha\)

• psi2T vector of variances of the posterior distributions of \(\alpha\)

• Ell expected log-likelihood
