Xu"],"abstract":"There has been great interest in recent years on statistical models for\ndynamic networks. In this paper, I propose a stochastic block transition model\n(SBTM) for dynamic networks that is inspired by the well-known stochastic block\nmodel (SBM) for static networks and previous dynamic extensions of the SBM.\nUnlike most existing dynamic network models, it does not make a hidden Markov\nassumption on the edge-level dynamics, allowing the presence or absence of\nedges to directly influence future edge probabilities while retaining the\ninterpretability of the SBM. I derive an approximate inference procedure for\nthe SBTM and demonstrate that it is significantly better at reproducing\ndurations of edges in real social network data.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.5404v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1411.5404v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"stochastic-block-transition-models-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/ideaslabut/dynamic-stochastic-block-model","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"BSD-3-Clause"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"stochastic-block-model","task_name":"Stochastic Block Model"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1411.5404","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
