Network Goodness-of-Fit for the Block-Model Family
块模型家族的网络拟合优度检验
The block-model family has four popular network models (SBM, DCBM, MMSBM, and DCMM). A fundamental problem is, how well each of these models fits with real networks. We propose GoF-MSCORE as a new Goodness-of-Fit (GoF) metric for DCMM (the broadest one among the four), with two main ideas. The first is to use cycle count statistics as a general recipe for GoF. The second is a novel network fitting scheme. GoF-MSCORE is a flexible GoF approach, and we further extend it to…
