q

same

1 if the networks should all be the same (no changes), 0 otherwise.

changes

'sequential' if the changes happen sequentially (i.e. changes at segment i are applied to segment i-1), 'hierarchical' if the changes happen with respect to a hypernetwork (i.e. changes at segment i are applied to segment 0).

fixed

T if the changepoint locations are fixed, F if they should be sampled.

cps

Changepoint locations (if they are fixed).

saveFile

If not NULL, indicates the filename for saving the output in R data format.

Value

A list with elements:

sim_data

A matrix of length NumNodes by NumTimepoints containing the simulated data from the regression model.

epsilon

Changepoint vector.

k

Number of changepoints.

network

The network, a list of length NumSegs, where each element is a NumNodes by NumNodes matrix.

noise

The standard deviation of the applied Gaussian noise.
