Monte Carlo Maximum Likelihood for Exponential Random Graph Models: From Snowballs to Umbrella Densities
(2009-03-27)Performing maximum-likelihood estimation for parameters in an exponential random graph model is challenging because of the unknown normalizing constant. Geyer and Thompson (1992) provide a Monte Carlo algorithm that uses ...
