invariant {MEclustnet}

Account for invariance of configurations.

Description

This function accounts for the fact that configurations in the latent space are invariant to rotations, reflections and translations.

Usage

invariant(z, zMAP)

Arguments

z

An n x d matrix of latent locations in the d dimensional space for each of n nodes.

zMAP

The maximum a posteriori configuration of latent locations used as the template to which all sampled configurations are mapped.

Details

Procrustean rotations, reflections and translations (note: NOT dilations) are employed to best match z to zMAP.

Value

The transformed version of the input configuration z that best matches zMAP.
