We consider a class of scale-free inhomogeneous random graphs, which includes some long-range percolation models. We study the maximum degree in such graphs in a growing observation window and show that its limiting distribution is Frechet. We achieve this by proving convergence of the underlying point process of the degrees to a certain Poisson process. Estimating the index of the power-law tail for the typical degree distribution has been an important question in statistics. We prove… Expand

Scale-free Networks Well Done
• Physics, Computer Science

A rigorous definition of power-law distributions is provided, equivalent to the definition of regularly varying distributions that are widely used in statistics and other fields, and three estimators of these exponents are identified that are proven to be statistically consistent. Expand
The maximal degree in a Poisson–Delaunay graph
• Mathematics

We investigate the maximal degree in a Poisson-Delaunay graph in $\mathbf{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, over all nodes in the window $\mathbf{W}_\rho:= \rho^{1/d}[0,1]^d$ as $\rho$ goes to infinity. The exactExpand

This paper considers semi-parametric estimation based on an extreme value approach that begins by estimating tail indices of the power laws of in-and-out-degree for the nodes of the network using nodes with large in- and out-degree. Expand
