abstract: 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 & Chiquet (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csda.2026.108347>
  for the model itself and its variational expectation-maximization estimation procedure.
