Provides an overview of the historical development of statistical network modelling and then introduces a number of examples that have been studied in the network literature. Subsequent discussions focus on a number of prominent static and dynamic network models and their interconnections.
Networks are ubiquitous in science and have become a focal point for discussion in everyday life. Formal statistical models for the analysis of network data have emerged as a major topic of interest in diverse areas of study, and most of these involve a form of graphical representation. Probability models on graphs date back to 1959. Along with empirical studies in social psychology and sociology from the 1960s, these early works generated an active network community and a substantial literature in the 1970s.
This effort moved into the statistical literature in the late 1970s and 1980s, and the past decade has seen a burgeoning network literature in statistical physics and computer science. The growth of the World Wide Web and the emergence of online networking communities such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn, and a host of more specialized professional network communities has intensified interest in the study of networks and network data.
The goal of this book is to provide the reader with an entry point to this burgeoning literature. It begins with an overview of the historical development of statistical network modeling and then introduces a number of examples that have been studied in the network literature. Subsequent discussions focus on a number of prominent static and dynamic network models and their interconnections. The authors emphasize formal model descriptions, and pay special attention to the interpretation of parameters and their estimation. They end with a description of some open problems and challenges for machine learning and statistics.
