## Overview

`INCVCommunityDetection` implements **Inductive Node-Splitting Cross-Validation
(INCV)** for selecting the number of communities in Stochastic Block Models
(SBM). The package also provides competing methods — **CROISSANT**, **Edge
Cross-Validation (ECV)**, and **Node Cross-Validation (NCV)** — for
comprehensive model selection in network analysis.

## Simulating a network

We start by generating a network from a planted-partition SBM with 3
communities, 150 nodes, within-community connection probability 0.5, and
between-community probability 0.05.

```{r simulate}
library(INCVCommunityDetection)

set.seed(42)
net <- community.sim(k = 3, n = 150, n1 = 50, p = 0.5, q = 0.05)
table(net$membership)
```

The adjacency matrix is a 150 × 150 binary symmetric matrix:

```{r adj-dim, fig.width=5, fig.height=5}
dim(net$adjacency)
ord <- order(net$membership)
image(net$adjacency[ord, ord],
      main = "Adjacency matrix (3-community SBM, reordered)",
      xlab = "Node", ylab = "Node")
```

## Selecting K with INCV (f-fold)

The main function `nscv.f.fold()` partitions nodes into `f` folds and uses
spectral clustering on the training subgraph.  Held-out nodes are assigned to
communities based on their connections to training nodes, and the held-out
negative log-likelihood and MSE are computed.

```{r incv-ffold}
result <- nscv.f.fold(net$adjacency, k.vec = 2:6, f = 5)
result$k.loss   # K selected by neg-log-likelihood
result$k.mse    # K selected by MSE
```

We can inspect the full CV loss curve:

```{r loss-curve, fig.width=6, fig.height=4}
plot(2:6, result$cv.loss, type = "b", pch = 19,
     xlab = "Number of communities (K)",
     ylab = "CV Negative Log-Likelihood",
     main = "INCV f-fold: CV loss by K")
abline(v = result$k.loss, lty = 2, col = "red")
```

## Selecting K with INCV (random split)

An alternative is to use repeated random node splits instead of fixed folds:

```{r incv-random}
result2 <- nscv.random.split(net$adjacency, k.vec = 2:6,
                             split = 0.66, ite = 20)
result2$k.chosen
```

```{r random-curve, fig.width=6, fig.height=4}
plot(2:6, result2$cv.loss, type = "b", pch = 19,
     xlab = "Number of communities (K)",
     ylab = "CV Negative Log-Likelihood",
     main = "INCV random-split: CV loss by K")
abline(v = result2$k.chosen, lty = 2, col = "red")
```

## Comparing with ECV and NCV

### Edge Cross-Validation

ECV holds out random edges and evaluates the predictive fit of a blockmodel
reconstruction.  It jointly selects between SBM and DCBM.

```{r ecv}
ecv <- ECV.for.blockmodel(net$adjacency, max.K = 6, B = 3)
ecv$dev.model   # best by deviance
ecv$l2.model    # best by L2
ecv$auc.model   # best by AUC
```

### Node Cross-Validation

NCV holds out random nodes and evaluates predictions on the held-out
sub-network:

```{r ncv}
ncv <- NCV.for.blockmodel(net$adjacency, max.K = 6, cv = 3)
ncv$dev.model
ncv$l2.model
```

## Summary of methods

| Method | Function | Splits | Selects K | Selects model type |
|--------|----------|--------|-----------|-------------------|
| INCV f-fold | `nscv.f.fold()` | Nodes into f folds | Yes | No (SBM only) |
| INCV random | `nscv.random.split()` | Random node split | Yes | No (SBM only) |
| ECV | `ECV.for.blockmodel()` | Random edge holdout | Yes | Yes (SBM vs DCBM) |
| NCV | `NCV.for.blockmodel()` | Node folds | Yes | Yes (SBM vs DCBM) |
| CROISSANT | `croissant.blockmodel()` | Overlapping subsamples | Yes | Yes (SBM vs DCBM) |

## Spectral clustering and probability estimation

The building blocks are also available directly:

```{r spectral}
cl <- SBM.spectral.clustering(net$adjacency, k = 3)
table(cl$cluster)

prob <- SBM.prob(cl$cluster, k = 3, A = net$adjacency, restricted = TRUE)
round(prob$p.matrix, 3)
```

## Distance-decaying SBM simulation

For more realistic simulations, `community.sim.sbm()` generates networks where
block probabilities decay with community distance:

```{r sbm-decay}
net2 <- community.sim.sbm(n = 120, n1 = 40, eta = 0.3, rho = 0.2, K = 4)
round(net2$conn, 4)
```

## Session info

```{r session}
sessionInfo()
```
