Hi again,
I have recently noticed the actualization of graphtool and now I am a
little bit confused about some changes. Sorry, I know my questions are very
basic. I am not familiar with these language and I have some dificulties to
get results.
I am running inference algorithms to get the best model using different
options of model selection. I want to set pclabel in the inference
algorithms because I know a priori my network is bipartite, and next I want
to get the description length. Before actualization I did this by this way:
vprop_double = g.new_vertex_property("int") # g is my network
for i in range(0, 11772):
vprop_double[g.vertex(i)] = 1
for i in range(11773, 214221):
vprop_double[g.vertex(i)] = 2
state = gt.minimize_blockmodel_dl(g, pclabel=True)
state.entropy(dl=True) # I am not sure this is the right way to get the
description length.
But now I have some problems. First of all, minimize_blockmodel_dl doesn't
have a pclabel argument so I don't know how indicate it in the inference
algorithm. I have tried this:
state.pclabel = vprop_double
But I get the same result when I do "state.entropy(dl=True)" as before.
Also, I get the same result doing "state.entropy(dl=True)" or
"state.entropy()", and I don't understand why neither.
And finally, in NestedBlockState objects I don't know to get description
length because entropy hasn't a "dl" argument. In these objects entropy and
dl are the same?
In conclusion, I don't know how to set pclabel and to get the description
length in hierarchical models, and I am not sure if I am getting it
correctly in non-hierarchical ones.
Sorry again for my basic questions but I can't go on because of these
problems.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Andrea
