The Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph is the simplest model for node degree distribution, and it is one of the most widely studied. In this model, pairs of $n$ vertices are selected and connected uniformly at random with probability $p$,…

We introduce a novel class of graphical models, termed profile graphical models, that represent, within a single graph, how an external factor influences the dependence structure of a multivariate set of variables. This class is quite…

Undirected graphs are often used to describe high dimensional distributions. Under sparsity conditions, the graph can be estimated using $\ell_1$ penalization methods. However, current methods assume that the data are independent and…
