Variable Selection for High-Dimensional Nodal Attributes in Social Networks with Degree Heterogeneity
度异质性社会网络中高维节点属性的变量选择
We consider a class of network models, in which the connection probability depends on ultrahigh-dimensional nodal covariates (homophily) and node-specific popularity (degree heterogeneity). A Bayesian method is proposed to select nodal features in both dense and sparse networks under a mild assumption on popularity parameters. The proposed approach is implemented via Gibbs sampling. To alleviate the computational burden for large sparse networks, we further develop a working…
