Title:

Models and Estimation for Sparse Network Data under Exchangeability<https://www.math.ethz.ch/sfs/news-and-events/research-seminar.html?s=fs16#e_8668>


Abstract:

We introduce a class of random graphs on the reals R defined by the exchangeability of their vertices. A straightforward adaptation of a result by Kallenberg yields a representation theorem: every such random graph is characterized by three (potentially random) components: a nonnegative real I, an integrable function S : R+ to R+, and a symmetric measurable function W: R+^2 to [0,1] that satisfies several weak integrability conditions. We call the triple (I,S,W) a graphex, in analogy to graphons, which characterize the (dense) exchangeable graphs on N. I will present some results about the structure and consistent estimation of these random graphs. Joint work with Victor Veitch
