In jlsm: Joint Latent Space Model for Social Networks with Multivariate Attributes

#' @title Create Joint Latent Space Model for Social networks and Multivariate Attributes
#'
#' @description \code{jlsm} provides a set of latent space models for jointly modeling
#' unipartite social networks with bipartite attribute networks. The latent space models are implemented using the
#' variational inference approach.
#'
#' @details Latent space models for bipartite networks: the function \code{\link{blsm}} implements the bipartite latent space model (BLSM) outlined in  Wang et al. (2021) using variational inference and squared Euclidian distance; the function
#' \code{\link{aplsm}} implements person and attribute latent space model (APLSM) introduced by
#' Wang et.al (2021).
#' These models assume that the person and attribute information can be summarized by latent person and attribute variables.
#' Both the Euclidean distances and the vector distances are used to describe relationships among persons and between persons and attributes.
