We establish a finite-sample Berry-Esseen theorem for the entrywise limits of the eigenvectors for a broad collection of signal-plus-noise random matrix models under challenging weak signal regimes. The signal strength is characterized by a scaling factor $\rho_n$ through $n\rho_n$, where $n$ is the dimension of the random matrix, and we allow $n\rho_n$ to grow at the rate of $\log n$. The key technical contribution is a sharp finite-sample entrywise eigenvector perturbation bound. The existing…

### Statistical inference of random graphs with a surrogate likelihood function

• Mathematics, Computer Science
• 2022
This paper proposes a novel surrogate likelihood function for statistical inference of a class of popular network models referred to as random dot product graphs and establishes the Bernstein– von Mises theorem of the posterior distribution with the surrogate likelihoodfunction and shows that the resulting credible sets have the correct frequentist coverage.
