Mesoscale two-sample testing for networks

Peter W. MacDonald, Elizaveta Levina, Ji Zhu

Networks arise naturally in many scientific fields as a representation of pairwise connections. Statistical network analysis has most often considered a single large network, but i…

Fast Network Community Detection with Profile-Pseudo Likelihood Methods

Jiangzhou Wang, Jingfei Zhang, Binghui Liu +2

The stochastic block model is one of the most studied network models for community detection. It is well-known that most algorithms proposed for fitting the stochastic block model…

Community models for networks observed through edge nominations

Tianxi Li, Elizaveta Levina, Ji Zhu

Communities are a common and widely studied structure in networks, typically under the assumption that the network is fully and correctly observed. In practice, network data are of…

High-dimensional Gaussian graphical model for network-linked data

Tianxi Li, Cheng Qian, Elizaveta Levina +1

Graphical models are commonly used to represent conditional dependence relationships between variables. There are multiple methods available for exploring them from high-dimensiona…

Link prediction for egocentrically sampled networks

Yun-Jhong Wu, Elizaveta Levina, Ji Zhu

Link prediction in networks is typically accomplished by estimating or ranking the probabilities of edges for all pairs of nodes. In practice, especially for social networks, the d…

Generalized linear models with low rank effects for network data

Yun-Jhong Wu, Elizaveta Levina, Ji Zhu

Networks are a useful representation for data on connections between units of interests, but the observed connections are often noisy and/or include missing values. One common appr…

Link prediction for partially observed networks

Yunpeng Zhao, Elizaveta Levina, Ji Zhu

Link prediction is one of the fundamental problems in network analysis. In many applications, notably in genetics, a partially observed network may not contain any negative example…

Sparse Ising Models with Covariates

Jie Cheng, Elizaveta Levina, Pei Wang +1

There has been a lot of work fitting Ising models to multivariate binary data in order to understand the conditional dependency relationships between the variables. However, additi…

A new approach to Cholesky-based covariance regularization in high dimensions

Adam J. Rothman, Elizaveta Levina, Ji Zhu

In this paper we propose a new regression interpretation of the Cholesky factor of the covariance matrix, as opposed to the well known regression interpretation of the Cholesky fac…

Sparse estimation of large covariance matrices via a nested Lasso penalty

Elizaveta Levina, Adam Rothman, Ji Zhu

The paper proposes a new covariance estimator for large covariance matrices when the variables have a natural ordering. Using the Cholesky decomposition of the inverse, we impose a…
