  <dc:description>Stochastic blockmodeling of one-mode and linked networks as presented in Škulj and Žiberna (2022) &lt;doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2022.02.001&gt;. The optimization is done via CEM (Classification Expectation Maximization) algorithm that can be initialized by random partitions or the results of k-means algorithm. The development of this package is financially supported by the Slovenian Research Agency (&lt;https://www.arrs.si/&gt;) within the research programs P5-0168 and the research projects J7-8279 (Blockmodeling multilevel and temporal networks) and J5-2557 (Comparison and evaluation of different approaches to blockmodeling dynamic networks by simulations with application to Slovenian co-authorship networks).</dc:description>
