Qing Yang and Xin Tong’s contribution to the Discussion of ‘Root and community inference on the latent growth process of a network’ by Crane and Xu
杨青与童昕对“网络潜在增长过程的根节点与社区推断”的讨论
First, we congratulate Dr. Crane and Dr. Xu for this important contribution to statistical network analysis. To address an overlooked fact that most real networks are formed through a growth process, the authors introduce a useful PAPER model and its variations and skilfully construct computationally feasible confidence sets for the root node(s). In the data analysis, the authors also use their models as a new approach to community detection. On this note, our interest lies…
