A Dynamic Process Reference Model for Sparse Networks with Reciprocity
Carter T. Butts
Many social and other networks exhibit stable size scaling relationships, such that features such as mean degree or reciprocation rates change slowly or are approximately constant…
Finite Mixtures of ERGMs for Modeling Ensembles of Networks
Fan Yin, Weining Shen, Carter T. Butts
Ensembles of networks arise in many scientific fields, but there are few statistical tools for inferring their generative processes, particularly in the presence of both dyadic dep…
Local Graph Stability in Exponential Family Random Graph Models
Yue Yu, Gianmarc Grazioli, Nolan E. Phillips +1
Exponential family Random Graph Models (ERGMs) can be viewed as expressing a probability distribution on graphs arising from the action of competing social forces that make ties mo…
Selection of Exponential-Family Random Graph Models via Held-Out Predictive Evaluation (HOPE)
Fan Yin, Nolan Edward Phillips, Carter T. Butts
Statistical models for networks with complex dependencies pose particular challenges for model selection and evaluation. In particular, many well-established statistical tools for…
Incorporating Structural Stigma into Network Analysis
Francis Lee, Carter T. Butts
A rich literature has explored the modeling of homophily and other forms of nonuniform mixing associated with individual-level covariates within the exponential family random graph…
