ST5225:  Mock Exam Nov 5 7-8pm

Instructions.

❼ Write your answers on A4-sized paper.

❼ Do not write your name.

❼ Start on a fresh sheet of paper for each question.

1.  Consider the following adjacency matrix of an undirected network g


 

with n = 4 nodes.

P9 (g) = exp(90m()+s(9)1(9(才)()+92$2()) ,

where  m(g)  is  the  number  of edges  in  graph  g ,  T (g)  the  number of triangles and S2(g) the number of 2-stars.  The constant κ(θ) =

dexp(θ0m(h) + θ1T (h) + θ2S2(h)) where the sum is over all possible graphs h with 4 nodes.

(a) How many terms are we summing over in the expression κ(θ)? (b) What is m(g), T (g) and S2(g)?

(c)  Derive the pseudo-likelihood for the graph g .

(d)  The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix A are given below.

What are the eigenvector centrality of the four nodes? ✩values

A logistic model is fitted with

puà         exp(a0 +a1 (z1u +z10)+'''+a7 (z7u +z70))  

where puà is the probability of interaction between nodes u and v, and x1u, . . . , x7u  are the covariates of lawyer u. The output is as below.
