New statistical method GHSIC measures independence in latent position random graphs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new statistical method called the graph Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion (GHSIC) to measure the independence of multiple latent position random graphs (LPRGs). This novel approach extends existing techniques, which were limited to only two components, to handle M >= 2 LPRGs. The GHSIC method is estimated to converge at a rate of approximately n^(-1/3) and does not require the selection of specific kernels or hyperparameters. The effectiveness of this new criterion was demonstrated through numerical experiments on synthetic data and real-world applications in analyzing brain functional connectivity subnetworks related to natural language perception.
