Recent results in statistical network analysis: a gentle introduction

Abstract:

This talk will give an overview of some recent results in statistical network analysis, including joint work with a number of colleagues. The focus will be on limiting representations of large networks, and asymptotic regimes for inference that are well matched to these representations.  This is an exciting and fast-moving area that presents both challenges and opportunities for modern statistical theory and methodology.  The talk will be accessible to non-specialists.

Keywords: Nonparametric statistics, non-Euclidean data, profile likelihood methods
