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 کاملBirds of a feather, or friend of a friend? Using exponential random graph models to investigate adolescent social networks.
In this article, we use newly developed statistical methods to examine the generative processes that give rise to widespread patterns in friendship networks. The methods incorporate both traditional demographic measures on individuals (age, sex, and race) and network measures for structural processes operating on individual, dyadic, and triadic levels. We apply the methods to adolescent friends...
متن کاملAdvances in exponential random graph (p*) models
Editorial Advances in exponential random graph (p *) models Statistical approaches to social networks have a rather long history. Few now recall that Moreno and Jennings (1938) in the very first edition of Sociometry compared an observed network against a null distribution of graphs to investigate the prevalence of what they called social configurations (long before the much later terms motif o...
متن کاملNew Specifications for Exponential Random Graph Models
The most promising class of statistical models for expressing structural properties of social networks observed at one moment in time is the class of exponential random graph models (ERGMs), also known as p ∗ models. The strong point of these models is that they can represent a variety of structural tendencies, such as transitivity, that define complicated dependence patterns not easily modeled...
