A Perfect Sampling Method for Exponential Family Random Graph Models
Generation of deviates from random graph models with non-trivial edge dependence is an increasingly important problem. Here, we introduce a method which allows perfect sampling from random graph models in exponential family form (“exponential family random graph” models), using a variant of Coupling From The Past. We illustrate the use of the method via an application to the Markov graphs, a fa...
متن کاملA Sufficient Statistics Construction of Exponential Family Levy Measure Densities for Nonparametric Conjugate Models
Conjugate pairs of distributions over infinite dimensional spaces are prominent in machine learning, particularly due to the widespread adoption of Bayesian nonparametric methodologies for a host of models and applications. Much of the existing literature in the learning community focuses on processes possessing some form of computationally tractable conjugacy as is the case for the beta proces...

متن کاملFitting exponential family mixed models
The seminal papers by Nelder and Wedderburn (Generalized Linear Models, JRSS A 1972) and Cox (Regression models and life tables, JRSS B 1972) both rely on the assumption that conditionally on covariate information (including time) the observations are independent. The difficulty in identifying and measuring all relevant covariates has pushed for methods that can handle both mean and covariance ...
متن کاملExponential-family Random Network Models
Random graphs, where the connections between nodes are considered random variables, have wide applicability in the social sciences. Exponential-family Random Graph Models (ERGM) have shown themselves to be a useful class of models for representing complex social phenomena. We generalize ERGM by also modeling nodal attributes as random variates, thus creating a random model of the full network, ...
