We study a generalization of the classical hidden clique problem to graphs with real-valued edge weights. Formally, we define a hypothesis testing problem. Under the null hypothesis, edges of a complete graph on $n$ vertices are associated…

We propose a new procedure for testing whether two networks are edge-correlated through some latent vertex correspondence. The test statistic is based on counting the co-occurrences of signed trees for a family of non-isomorphic trees. When…
