摘要: Community detection is a fundamental statistical problem in network data analysis. Many algorithms have been proposed to tackle this problem. Most of these are not guaranteed achieve the optimality problem, while procedures that information theoretic limits for general parameter spaces computationally tractable. In paper, we present feasible two-stage method achieves optimal performance misclassification proportion stochastic block model under weak regularity conditions. Our procedure consists generic refinement step can take wide range weakly consistent community as initializer, which stage applies and outputs assignment achieving with high probability. The practical effectiveness new algorithm demonstrated by competitive numerical results.
