Structural Analysis of a Dynamic Multilayer Network via Matrix Autoregressive Models: A Case Study of International Interactions between Countries
利用矩阵自回归分析动态多层网络结构:国家间互动案例
Dynamic and multilayer networks have been widely studied separately, but their joint analysis remains comparatively underdeveloped. Because the relational information of a dynamic multilayer network can be represented as a tensor at each time point $t$, each layer can be summarized through a set of structural statistics, yielding a matrix-valued observation and, consequently, a matrix-valued time series. To exploit this structure, we propose the use of matrix autoregressive…
