How to format chapters and sections using memoir

Question

I’m formatting my thesis and I have to use the following guidelines in each chapter and subsections’ names:
PRIMARY SECTION: Bold and capitalized
Secondary Section: Bold and initial letters capitalized with 1,0 cm indentation
Tertiary section: Bold and only the first letter capitalized with 1,5 cm indentation
Quaternary Section: italics and initial letters capitalized with 2,0 cm indentation
Quinary section: italics and only the first letter capitalized with 2,5 cm identation
How do I do this using memoir?
Thanks!

You have to do some work on the titles yourself but:
% memdivsprob.tex  SE 579920

documentclass{memoir}
setsecnumdepth{paragraph}

setsecindent{1.0cm} setsecheadstyle{largebfseries}
setsubsecindent{1.5cm} setsubsecheadstyle{bfseries}
setsubsubsecindent{2.0cm} setsubsubsecheadstyle{itshape}
setparaindent{2.5cm}  setparaheadstyle{itshape}

begin{document}
chapter{Chapter one (primary)}
section{Section one (secondary)}
subsection{Subsection one (tertiary)}
subsubsection{Subsubsection one (quaternary)}
paragraph{Paragraph one (quinary)}

end{document}

You will have to capitalize, or not, the letters in the titles according to the guidelines.
