Inferential Network Analysis with Exponential Random Graph Models
Methods for descriptive network analysis have reached statistical maturity and general acceptance across the social sciences in recent years. However, methods for statistical inference with network data remain fledgling by comparison. We introduce and evaluate a general model for inference with network data, the Exponential Random Graph Model (ERGM) and several of its recent extensions. The ERG...
متن کاملExponential-Family Random Graph Models with Time Varying Network Parameters
Dynamic networks are a general language for describing time-evolving complex systems, and have long been an interesting research area. It is a fundamental research question to model time varying network parameters. However, due to difficulties in modeling functional network parameters, there is little progress in the current literature to effectively model time varying network parameters. In th...

Synonyms p* models, p-star models, p1 models, exponential family of random graphs, maximum entropy random networks, logit models, Markov graphs Glossary • Graph and network: the terms are used interchangeably in this essay. • Real-world network: (real network, observed network) means network data the researcher has collected and is interested in modelling. • Ensemble of graphs: means the set of...
متن کاملLearning Exponential Random Graph Models
Exponential Random Graphs are common, simple statistical models for social network and other structures. Unfortunately, inference and learning with them is hard for networks larger than 20 nodes because their partition functions are intractable to compute precisely. In this paper, we introduce a novel linear-time deterministic approximation to these partition functions. Our main insight enablin...
متن کاملExploring biological network structure using exponential random graph models
MOTIVATION The functioning of biological networks depends in large part on their complex underlying structure. When studying their systemic nature many modeling approaches focus on identifying simple, but prominent, structural components, as such components are easier to understand, and, once identified, can be used as building blocks to succinctly describe the network. RESULTS In recent soci...
