Bipartite networks with exchangeable nodes can be represented by row-column exchangeable matrices. A quadruplet is a submatrix of size 2 x 2. A quadruplet U-statistic is the average of a function on a quadruplet over all the quadruplets of a matrix. We prove several asymptotic results for quadruplet U-statistics on row-column exchangeable matrices, including a weak convergence result in the general case and a central limit theorem when the matrix is also dissociated. These results are applied to statistical inference in network analysis. We suggest a method to perform parameter estimation, network comparison and motifs count for a particular family of row-column exchangeable network models: the bipartite expected degree distribution (BEDD) models. These applications are illustrated by simulations.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes original research and survey papers in the area of Probability and Statistics. It covers theoretical and practical aspects, in any field of these domains.
Of particular interest are methodological developments with application in other scientific areas, for example Biology and Genetics, Information Theory, Finance, Bioinformatics, Random structures and Random graphs, Econometrics, Physics.
Long papers are very welcome.
Indeed, we intend to develop the journal in the direction of applications and to open it to various fields where random mathematical modelling is important. In particular we will call (survey) papers in these areas, in order to make the random community aware of important problems of both theoretical and practical interest. We all know that many recent fascinating developments in Probability and Statistics are coming from "the outside" and we think that ESAIM: P&S should be a good entry point for such exchanges. Of course this does not mean that the journal will be only devoted to practical aspects.
