Framework for Converting Mechanistic Network Models to Probabilistic Models
Ravi Goyal, JP Onnela
There are two prominent paradigms to the modeling of networks: in the first, referred to as the mechanistic approach, one specifies a set of domain-specific mechanistic rules that…
Investigation of Patient-sharing Networks Using a Bayesian Network Model Selection Approach for Congruence Class Models
Ravi Goyal, Victor De Gruttola
A Bayesian approach to conduct network model selection is presented for a general class of network models referred to as the congruence class models (CCMs). CCMs form a broad class…
Recursive Formula for Labeled Graph Enumeration
Ravi Goyal, Victor De Gruttola
This manuscript presents a general recursive formula to estimate the size of fibers associated with algebraic maps from graphs to summary statistics of importance for social networ…
Dynamic Network Prediction
Ravi Goyal, Victor De Gruttola
We present a statistical framework for generating predicted dynamic networks based on the observed evolution of social relationships in a population. The framework includes a novel…
