Recent work studying triadic closure in undirected graphs has drawn attention to the distinction between measures that focus on the "center" node of a wedge (i.e., length-2 path) vs. measures that focus on the "initiator," a distinction…
We consider multivariate two-sample tests of means, where the location shift between the two populations is expected to be related to a known graph structure. An important application of such tests is the detection of differentially…
