  <dc:title>Gaussian Graphical Models with Latent Clustering Structure</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package normalblockr version 0.3.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements the Normal-Block model, a Gaussian graphical model
             with a latent clustering structure for the multivariate analysis
             of continuous data. The model clusters variables and, building
             on the graphical lasso, infers a network of statistical
             dependencies between clusters rather than between individual
             variables, for known or unknown clusterings, with an optional
             zero-inflation extension for data with an excess of exact
             zeros. A complementary family clusters variables by their
             regression response to covariates rather than by their
             covariance, sharing one profile per cluster. See Tous &amp; Chiquet (2026)
             &lt;doi:10.1016/j.csda.2026.108347&gt; for the model itself and its
             variational expectation-maximization estimation procedure.</dc:description>
