Latent-position random graph models usually treat the node set as fixed once the sample size is chosen, while graphon-based and random-measure constructions allow more randomness at the cost of weaker geometric interpretability. We…

A very popular class of models for networks posits that each node is represented by a point in a continuous latent space, and that the probability of an edge between nodes is a decreasing function of the distance between them in this latent…
