Time Series Approach to the Evolution of Networks: Prediction and Estimation
网络演化的时间序列方法:预测与估计
The article analyzes nonnegative multivariate time series which we interpret as weighted networks. We introduce a model where each coordinate of the time series represents a given edge across time. The number of time periods is treated as large compared to the size of the network. The model specifies the temporal evolution of a weighted network that combines classical autoregression with nonnegativity, a positive probability of vanishing, and peer effect interactions between…
