No, these are not the same thing. The function minimize_nested_blockmodel_dl() employs an aglomerative heuristic which alternates between merging groups and moving nodes between groups, and doing a bisection search for the optimal number of groups. The mcmc_args argument controls only the moving of nodes between groups. The mcmc_sweep() function only performs moves of nodes between groups, nothing else. -- Tiago de Paula Peixoto <[email protected]>
