We introduce a new statistic, 'spectral goodness of fit' (SGOF) to measure how well a network model explains the structure of an observed network. SGOF provides an absolute measure of fit, analogous to the standard R-squared in linear…
We present the first finite-sample goodness-of-fit test for the mixed membership stochastic block model (MMSBM). Using algebraic statistics theory, we derive a Markov basis that lets a Metropolis-Hastings sampler explore exactly the set of…
