Implicit blockmodeling

Implicit blockmodeling is an approach in <a href="/facts/Blockmodeling/mQtuvX0f">blockmodeling</a>, similar to a <a href="/facts/Valued_blockmodeling/adChXKzN">valued</a> and <a href="/facts/Homogeneity_blockmodeling/qhnHzafV">homogeneity blockmodeling</a>, where initially an additional <a href="/facts/Normalization_(statistics)/734U3VFY">normalization</a> is used and then while specifying the parameter of the relevant link is replaced by the <a href="/facts/Blockmodel/rTtN38Sb">block maximum</a>.
This approach was first proposed by <a href="/facts/Vladimir_Batagelj/2zVJCp3b">Batagelj</a> and <a href="/facts/Anu%25C5%25A1ka_Ferligoj/BvHKD28q">Ferligoj</a> in 2000,: 16–17  and developed by <a href="/facts/Ale%25C5%25A1_%25C5%25BDiberna/8zj7mafI">Aleš Žiberna</a> in 2007/08.
Comparing with homogeneity, the implicit blockmodeling will perform similarly with max-regular equivalence, but slightly worse in other settings. It will perform worse than valued and homogeneity blockmodeling with a pre-specified blockmodel.
