This paper studies change point detection in time series of networks, with the Separable Temporal Exponential-family Random Graph Model (STERGM). Dynamic network patterns can be inherently complex due to dyadic and temporal dependence. Detection of the change points can identify the discrepancies in the underlying data generating processes and facilitate downstream analysis. The STERGM that utilizes network statistics to represent the structural patterns is a flexible model to fit dynamic networks. We propose a new estimator derived from the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) and Group Fused Lasso to simultaneously detect multiple time points, where the parameters of a time-heterogeneous STERGM have changed. We also provide a Bayesian information criterion for model selection and an R package CPDstergm to implement the proposed method. Experiments on simulated and real data show good performance of the proposed framework. |
