报告摘要:

In this talk, we present likelihood ratio tests in some random graph models including the beta model for undirected graphs, the Bradley-Terry model for paired companions and the p0 model for directed graphs. For two growing dimensional null hypotheses- a specified null and a homogenous null, we reveal  high dimensional Wilks' phenomena that the normalized log-likelihood ratio statistic converges in distribution  to a standard normal distribution when the number of being tested parameters goes to infinity. For the homogenous null with a fixed number of parameters, we establish the Wilks-type theorem that the log-likelihood ratio test converges in distribution to a chi-square distribution as the number of nodes goes to infinity.
