Edge Probability Graph Models Beyond Edge Independency: Concepts, Analyses, and Algorithms

Fanchen Bu, Ruochen Yang, Paul Bogdan +1

Desirable random graph models (RGMs) should (i) reproduce common patterns in real-world graphs (e.g., power-law degrees, small diameters, and high clustering), (ii) generate variab…
