Identifying Community Structures from Network Data via Maximum Likelihood Methods

  • Jernej Copic , Matthew O. Jackson and Alan Kirman

Networks of social and economic interactions are often influenced by unobserved structures among the nodes. Based on a simple model of how an unobserved community structure generates networks of interactions, we axiomatize a method of detecting the latent community structures from network data. The method is based on maximum likelihood estimation.
