Abstract:
|
We consider a dynamic network model where the evolution of the network is governed by a Markovian structure. The network at t+1 evolves from the network at time point t via addition/birth of a random number of new nodes and the deletion/death of a random number of existing nodes. Long term network density depends on the probability parameters associated with the birth and the death events. We consider the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters and obtain their limit distributions. We apply the result to a few selected real datasets.
