Consistency of maximum-likelihood and variational estimators in the Stochastic Block Model
The stochastic block model (SBM) is a probabilistic model designed to describe heterogeneous directed and undirected graphs. In this paper, we address the asymptotic inference in SBM by use of maximumlikelihood and variational approaches. The identifiability of SBM is proved while asymptotic properties of maximum-likelihood and variational estimators are derived. In particular, the consistency ...
متن کاملConsistency of restricted maximum likelihood estimators of principal components Running Title: Consistency of REML estimators
In this paper we consider two closely related problems : estimation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance kernel of functional data based on (possibly) irregular measurements, and the problem of estimating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix for high-dimensional Gaussian vectors. In Peng and Paul (2007), a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) approach has bee...

In this paper we consider two closely related problems : estimation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance kernel of functional data based on (possibly) irregular measurements, and the problem of estimating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix for high-dimensional Gaussian vectors. In [23], a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) approach has been developed to d...
متن کاملConsistency of Semiparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimators for Two-Phase Sampling
Semiparametric maximum likelihood estimators have recently been proposed for a class of two-phase, outcome-dependent sampling models. All of them were "restricted" maximum likelihood estimators, in the sense that the maximization is carried out only over distributions concentrated on the observed values of the covariate vectors. In this paper, the authors give conditions for consistency of thes...
متن کاملDistributions of Maximum Likelihood Estimators and Model Comparisons
Experimental data need to be assessed for purposes of model identification, estimation of model parameters and consequences of misspecified model fits. Here the first and third factors are considered via analytic formulations for the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimates. When estimating this distribution with statistics, it is a tradition to invert the roles of population quantities...
