Modelling Multivariate Binary Data with Blocks of Specific One-Factor Distribution. Variables are grouped into independent blocks. Each variable is described by two continuous parameters (its marginal probability and its dependency strength with the other block variables), and one binary parameter (positive or negative dependency). Model selection consists in the estimation of the repartition of the variables into blocks. It is carried out by the maximization of the BIC criterion by a deterministic (faster) algorithm or by a stochastic (more time consuming but optimal) algorithm. Tool functions facilitate the model interpretation.

The Cauchy distribution is a special case of the t distribution when the degrees of freedom are equal to 1. The functions are related to the multivariate Cauchy distribution and include simulation, computation of the density, maximum likelihood estimation, contour plot of the bivariate Cauchy distribution, and discriminant analysis.
