HubNetwork {hglasso}

Hub network generation

Description

Generate an inverse covariance matrix, covariance matrix, or binary network with hub structure

Usage

HubNetwork(p, sparsity, hubnumber, hubsparsity, type = "Gaussian")

Arguments

p

The number of features

sparsity

Sparsity of the network

hubnumber

The number of hubs in the network

hubsparsity

Sparsity level within each hub

type

Type of network. The default value type="Gaussian" generates an inverse covariance matrix. type="covariance" generates a covariance matrix with hubs. type="binary" generates a binary network with hubs.

Value

Theta

Theta is the generated inverse covariance matrix, covariance matrix, or binary network.

hubcol

hubcol contains indices for features that are hubs.

Examples

# Generate inverse covariance matrix with 5 hubs
# 30% of the elements within a hub are zero 
# 95% of the elements that are not within hub nodes are zero
p <- 100
Theta <- HubNetwork(p,0.95,5,0.3)$Theta

# Generate covariance matrix with 5 hubs with similar structure
Sigma <- HubNetwork(p,0.95,5,0.3,type="covariance")$Theta

# Generate binary network with 2 hubs with p=10
Theta <- HubNetwork(p=10,0.95,2,0.3,type="binary")$Theta
