Abstract

Chatterjee, Diaconis and Sly (2011) recently established the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimate in the β\beta-model when the number of vertices goes to infinity. By approximating the inverse of the Fisher information matrix, we obtain its asymptotic normality under mild conditions. Simulation studies and a data example illustrate the theoretical results.
