A Stein goodness-of-test for exponential random graph models

We propose and analyse a novel nonparametric goodness-of-fit testing procedure for exchangeable exponential random graph model (ERGM) when a single network realisation is observed. The test determines how likely it is that the observation is generated from a target unnormalised ERGM density. Our tes...
