We investigate how to select the number of communities for weighted networks without a full likelihood modeling. First, we propose a novel weighted degree-corrected stochastic block model (DCSBM), where the mean adjacency matrix is modeled…
The stochastic block model is widely used for detecting community structures in network data. How to test the goodness-of-fit of the model is one of the fundamental problems and has gained growing interests in recent years. In this article,…
The stochastic block model is a popular tool for studying community structures in network data. We develop a goodness-of-fit test for the stochastic block model. The test statistic is based on the largest singular value of a residual matrix…
We study sharp detection thresholds for degree corrections in Stochastic Block Models in the context of a goodness of fit problem, and explore the effect of the unknown community assignment (a high dimensional nuisance parameter) and the…
The Degree Corrected Stochastic Block Model (DCSBM) was introduced by \cite{karrer2011stochastic} as a generalization of the stochastic block model in which vertices of the same community are allowed to have distinct degree distributions.…
The stochastic block model (SBM) has been widely used to analyze network data. Various goodness-of-fit tests have been proposed to assess the adequacy of model structures. To the best of our knowledge, however, none of the existing…
Community detection is a fundamental problem in complex network data analysis. Though many methods have been proposed, most existing methods require the number of communities to be the known parameter, which is not in practice. In this…
The stochastic block model is a popular tool for detecting community structures in network data. Detecting the difference between two community structures is an important issue for stochastic block models. However, the two-sample test has…
Community detection in multi-layer networks is a fundamental task in complex network analysis across various areas like social, biological, and computer sciences. However, most existing algorithms assume that the number of communities is…
Estimating the asymmetric numbers of communities in multi-layer directed networks is a challenging problem due to the multi-layer structures and inherent directional asymmetry, leading to possibly different numbers of sender and receiver…
Community detection in directed networks is a central task in network analysis. Unlike undirected networks, directed networks encode inherently asymmetric relationships, giving rise to sender and receiver roles that may each follow distinct…
Unambiguous detection of signals superimposed on unknown trends is difficult for unevenly spaced data. Here, we formulate the Discrete Chi-square Method (DCM) that can determine the best model for many signals superimposed on arbitrary…
We consider goodness-of-fit tests for uniformity of a multinomial distribution by means of tests based on a class of symmetric statistics, defined as the sum of some function of cell-frequencies. We are dealing with an asymptotic regime,…
We consider the two-sample testing problem for networks, where the goal is to determine whether two sets of networks originated from the same stochastic model. Assuming no vertex correspondence and allowing for different numbers of nodes,…
The stochastic block model (SBM) is a popular framework for studying community detection in networks. This model is limited by the assumption that all nodes in the same community are statistically equivalent and have equal expected degrees.…
The stochastic block model (SBM) provides a popular framework for modeling community structures in networks. However, more attention has been devoted to problems concerning estimating the latent node labels and the model parameters than the…
In this short note, we address the identifiability issues inherent in the Degree-Corrected Stochastic Block Model (DCSBM). We provide a rigorous proof demonstrating that the parameters of the DCSBM are identifiable up to a scaling factor…
The mixed-membership stochastic block model (MMSBM) is a common model for social networks. Given an $n$-node symmetric network generated from a $K$-community MMSBM, we would like to test $K=1$ versus $K>1$. We first study the degree-based…
Network-based clustering methods frequently require the number of communities to be specified \emph{a priori}. Moreover, most of the existing methods for estimating the number of communities assume the number of communities to be fixed and…
We propose and analyze the problems of \textit{community goodness-of-fit and two-sample testing} for stochastic block models (SBM), where changes arise due to modification in community memberships of nodes. Motivated by practical…
