Curved exponential family models for social networks
Curved exponential family models are a useful generalization of exponential random graph models (ERGMs). In particular, models involving the alternating k-star, alternating k-triangle, and alternating k-twopath statistics of Snijders et al (2006) may be viewed as curved exponential family models. This article unifies recent material in the literature regarding curved exponential family models f...
متن کاملInference in Curved Exponential Family Models for Networks
Network data arise in a wide variety of applications. Although descriptive statistics for networks abound in the literature, the science of fitting statistical models to complex network data is still in its infancy. The models considered in this article are based on exponential families; therefore, we refer to them as exponential random graph models (ERGMs). Although ERGMs are easy to postulate...
متن کاملConjugacy rigidity for nonpositively curved graph manifolds
We show that the metric of nonpositively curved graph manifolds is determined by its geodesic flow. More precisely we show that if the geodesic flows of two nonpositively curved graph manifolds are C0 conjugate then the spaces
متن کاملRobustness and duality of maximum entropy and exponential family distributions
As in the previous chapter of these notes, we again consider exponential family models. For simplicity throughout this chapter, and with essentially no loss of generality, we assume that all of our exponential family distributions have (standard) densities. Moreover, we assume there is some fixed density (or, more generally, an arbitrary function) p satisfying p(x) ≥ 0 and for which pθ(x) = p(x...
متن کاملReview of the Applications of Exponential Family in Statistical Inference
In this paper, after introducing exponential family and a history of work done by researchers in the field of statistics, some applications of this family in statistical inference especially in estimation problem,statistical hypothesis testing and statistical information theory concepts will be discussed.
