Causal Models for Growing Networks

Gecia Bravo-Hermsdorff, Lee M. Gunderson, Kayvan Sadeghi

Real-world networks grow over time; statistical models based on node exchangeability are not appropriate. Instead of constraining the structure of the \textit{distribution} of edge…

BudgetIV: Optimal Partial Identification of Causal Effects with Mostly Invalid Instruments

Jordan Penn, Lee M. Gunderson, Gecia Bravo-Hermsdorff +2

Instrumental variables (IVs) are widely used to estimate causal effects in the presence of unobserved confounding between exposure and outcome. An IV must affect the outcome exclus…

Bounding Causal Effects with Leaky Instruments

David S. Watson, Jordan Penn, Lee M. Gunderson +3

Instrumental variables (IVs) are a popular and powerful tool for estimating causal effects in the presence of unobserved confounding. However, classical approaches rely on strong a…

The Graph Pencil Method: Mapping Subgraph Densities to Stochastic Block Models

Lee M Gunderson, Gecia Bravo-Hermsdorff, Peter Orbanz

In this work, we describe a method that determines an exact map from a finite set of subgraph densities to the parameters of a stochastic block model (SBM) matching these densities…

Statistical anonymity: Quantifying reidentification risks without reidentifying users

Gecia Bravo-Hermsdorff, Robert Busa-Fekete, Lee M. Gunderson +2

Data anonymization is an approach to privacy-preserving data release aimed at preventing participants reidentification, and it is an important alternative to differential privacy i…

Quantifying Network Similarity using Graph Cumulants

Gecia Bravo-Hermsdorff, Lee M. Gunderson, Pierre-André Maugis +1

How might one test the hypothesis that networks were sampled from the same distribution? Here, we compare two statistical tests that use subgraph counts to address this question. T…

Gender and collaboration patterns in a temporal scientific authorship network

Gecia Bravo-Hermsdorff, Valkyrie Felso, Emily Ray +4

One can point to a variety of historical milestones for gender equality in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), however, practical effects are incremental and…

Introducing Graph Cumulants: What is the Variance of Your Social Network?

Lee M. Gunderson, Gecia Bravo-Hermsdorff

In an increasingly interconnected world, understanding and summarizing the structure of these networks becomes increasingly relevant. However, this task is nontrivial; proposed sum…

A Unifying Framework for Spectrum-Preserving Graph Sparsification and Coarsening

Gecia Bravo-Hermsdorff, Lee M. Gunderson

How might one "reduce" a graph? That is, generate a smaller graph that preserves the global structure at the expense of discarding local details? There has been extensive work on b…

A model of solar equilibrium: the hydrodynamic limit

Lee Gunderson, Amitava Bhattacharjee

Helioseismology has revealed the internal density and rotation profiles of the Sun. Yet, knowledge of its magnetic fields and meridional circulation is confined much closer to the…
