Description: Implements spectral clustering algorithms for community
        detection in sparse networks under the stochastic block model
        ('SBM') and degree-corrected stochastic block model ('DCSBM'),
        following the methods of Lei and Rinaldo (2015)
        <doi:10.1214/14-AOS1274>. Provides a regularized normalized
        Laplacian embedding, spherical k-median clustering for 'DCSBM',
        standard k-means for 'SBM', simulation utilities for both
        models, and a misclustering rate evaluation metric. Also
        includes the 'NCAA' college football network of Girvan and
        Newman (2002) <doi:10.1073/pnas.122653799> as a benchmark
        dataset, and the Bethe-Hessian community number estimator of
        Hwang (2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2023.2223793>.
