Information content of high-order associations of the human gut microbiota network
Weston D. Viles, Juliette C. Madan, Hongzhe Li +3
The human gastrointestinal tract is an environment that hosts an ecosystem of microorganisms essential to human health. Vital biological processes emerge from fundamental inter- an…
Constrained Community Detection in Social Networks
Weston D. Viles, A. James O'Malley
Community detection in networks is the process of identifying unusually well-connected sub-networks and is a central component of many applied network analyses. The paradigm of mod…
On the Propagation of Low-Rate Measurement Error to Subgraph Counts in Large Networks
Prakash Balachandran, Eric D. Kolaczyk, Weston Viles
Our work in this paper is inspired by a statistical observation that is both elementary and broadly relevant to network analysis in practice -- that the uncertainty in approximatin…
Percolation under Noise: Detecting Explosive Percolation Using the Second Largest Component
Wes Viles, Cedric E. Ginestet, Ariana Tang +2
We consider the problem of distinguishing classical (Erdős-Rényi) percolation from explosive (Achlioptas) percolation, under noise. A statistical model of percolation is constructe…
Exponential-type Inequalities Involving Ratios of the Modified Bessel Function of the First Kind and their Applications
Prakash Balachandran, Weston Viles, Eric D. Kolaczyk
The modified Bessel function of the first kind, , arises in numerous areas of study, such as physics, signal processing, probability, statistics, etc. As such, there has be…
