On Exponential Random Graph Models with Dyadic Independence

Abstract

We show that the only exponential random graph model with n nodal parameters, dyads being independent, and the natural assumption of permutation-equivariant nodal parametrization is the eta model. In addition, we show that an exponential random graph model with similar assumptions but with fewer than n block parameters is the additive stochastic block model. We also provide similar results for directed networks
