A likelihood-ratio type test for stochastic block models with bounded degrees

A fundamental problem in network data analysis is to test Erdos-Renyi model versus a bisection stochastic block model. This problem serves as the foundation of many other problems such as testing-based methods for determining the number of …

Testing Community Structures for Hypergraphs

Many complex networks in real world can be formulated as hypergraphs where community detection has been widely used. However, the fundamental question of whether communities exist or not in an observed hypergraph still remains unresolved. The aim of …

JDINAC: joint density-based non-parametric differential interaction network analysis and classification using high-dimensional sparse omics data

Motivation A complex disease is usually driven by a number of genes interwoven into networks, rather than a single gene product. Network comparison or differential network analysis has become an important means of revealing the underlying mechanism …

Network exploration via the adaptive LASSO and SCAD penalties

Graphical models are frequently used to explore networks, such as genetic networks, among a set of variables. This is usually carried out via exploring the sparsity of the precision matrix of the variables under consideration. Penalized likelihood …
